"Tradition and Innovation in Belgian Art"
A Lecture by Mariano Akerman
Among the major achievements of Belgian artists are the development of the oil painting technique and the creation of a suggestive interplay between the concepts of reality and imagination in the visual arts.
Art-historian Mariano Akerman explores a group of Belgian artworks, to reveal their aesthetic qualities and hidden meanings. He considers the artworks from original, thought-enlarging perspectives, and makes them accessible to everyone.
Experienced and multi-prized, Akerman teaches Art History since 1981. He has given lectures on Belgian art in numerous educational institutions in Jerusalem, Manila, Buenos Aires, Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, and Rio de Janeiro.
