The Enduring Allure of Black and White in Modern European Art
At Group 2 Gallery, the Black & White art collection offers a rare glimpse into the expressive restraint of monochrome art. Spanning decades of modernist evolution, these works—by such eminent artists as Antoine Mortier, Englebert Van Anderlecht, Heerbrant and Albert Rubens—reveal the emotional clarity and intellectual rigor of black-and-white composition. Each piece invites the viewer into a world where form, line, and texture take precedence, offering timeless appeal for both seasoned collectors and first-time admirers of post-war Belgian and European modernism.
Monochrome Mastery: Belgian and European Pioneers in Ink, Charcoal, and Gouache
This curated selection celebrates the avant-garde and surrealist legacies of 20th-century European artists who embraced the evocative power of black and white art. From the raw, gestural intensity of Antoine Mortier’s oil paintings to the lyrical abstractions of Englebert Van Anderlecht and the meditative ink works of Henri Michaux, the collection underscores the deep emotional and philosophical resonance of a limited palette.
Victor Servranckx’s refined linework and Suzanne Van Damme’s abstract compositions represent vital contributions to the dialogue between form and meaning, where chiaroscuro becomes a language of modern identity and introspection. Works by Jean Milo, René Guiette and Pierre-Louis Flouquet—many of whom were founding members of artistic movements such as La Jeune Peinture Belge and 7 Arts—demonstrate the crosscurrents of constructivism, lyrical abstraction and surrealism that defined post-war Belgian art.
The inclusion of female modernists such as Chantal Coppieters 't Wallant and Ann Dierckx reflects a broader art historical shift—one that recognizes the nuanced power of women's contributions to the black-and-white art aesthetic. Their refined sense of material and structural balance adds a compelling contemporary layer to this otherwise historically grounded collection. The resulting ensemble is as intellectually engaging as it is visually spare.
