A way of celebrating friendship and cultural diversity
Discovering Belgian Art
A Series of Art Appreciation Lectures, 2008-2009
Among the major achievements of the Belgian artists are the development of the oil painting technique, the fostering of new pictorial styles, the depiction of remarkable images, real and invented, and what may be the most incredible questioning of the concept of Reality in the history of Western art. Mariano Akerman reveals the originality of a select group of Belgian masterpieces. He examines their style and meanings, historical context, aesthetic qualities and raison d’être, appreciating them from new, unexpected perspectives.
Art historian Mariano Akerman was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1963. Educated at the School of Architecture of Universidad de Belgrano. During the 1990s, he researched the work of the painter Francis Bacon and that of the architect Louis Kahn. A painter himself, Akerman has exhibited his artwork solo or in group in Argentina, Spain, Japan, Philippines and Sweden. He has been awarded with twelve major international distinctions and prizes.
