Jo Delahaut ( Liège 1911 - Brussels 1992 ) was at the forefront of Geometric Abstraction in Belgium after World War II. He was the first member of "La Jeune Peinture Belge" ("Young Belgian Painters") (1945-1948) who decided in 1946 to make exclusively abstract works under the influence of french abstract painter Auguste Herbin. Both as an artist and as a Professor and writer his influence was very important. In 1946 he became a member of the "Réalités nouvelles" in Paris. In 1952 he was co-founder, together with Pol Bury, Jean Milo, Georges Collignon a.o. of the group "Abstract Art" and in 1954 he published, with Pol Bury, the "Spatialism" manifest.
