2. VICTOR SERVRANCKX
Diegem 1897 - Vilvoorde 1965
Major avant-garde artist & colleague of Magritte
The artist and his iconic sculpture "Opus 1 1921 - Femininity - Motherhood - Birth"
“Opus 1” (1921) by Victor Servranckx is rightly considered as a key work in the evolution of European abstract sculpture. A visionary response to the trauma of World War I, the piece blends avant-garde forms with symbolic themes of femininity, motherhood and spatial art.

The artist commented this iconic sculpture as follows :
"Expression de plénitude dans la tendresse. Compénétration d'espace négatif dans le temps, quatrième dimension. Compénétration d'espace et de durée. Totalisation d'espace durée. Cette sculpture, posée sur un socle pivotant, auquel est donné un mouvement de rotation, produit à tout moment et à toute face la même impression d'ensemble : les volumes devant accrocher le regard, étant répartis selon un rythmique fondée sur le éléments de durée de la quatrième dimension, en même temps que sur les valeurs réciproques de volume-matière (positif) et de volume-espace (négatif) : plein et vide autour". - Victor Servranckx
