BRAM BOGART (BORN IN 1921)
Rue Santeuil, 1954 Oil and water painting on burlap Signed and dated lower right Countersigned, dated and titled on the back H: 100 cm W: 80 cm Bram Bogart (Abraham van den Bogart) is a Belgian-Dutch artist born in Delft in 1921. He began abstract painting in the 1950s, becoming a pioneer in Europe in this field. From 1951 to 1960, he worked in Paris, in a workshop located rue Santeuil, in the 5th arrondissement. There, he adhered to informal art, an abstract trend which developed in Europe in the post-war period. This refuses all rules, all prerequisites, and on the contrary favors automatism. It includes, among other things, materialism, which develops new processes for treating the surface of the canvas. Bogart belongs to this pictorial movement: from 1954, the material of his paintings becomes thicker, the colors become more sober, and he creates numerous white or black monochromes. “Rue Santeuil” dates from this year, and is made using the typical technique of this artist: a paste composed of pigments mixed in plaster is affixed to a thick burlap. The relief created by the impasto engages in dialogue with light and shadow and thus creates a dynamic in the work. This table can be compared with the contemporary works of artists attached to the “Zero” group (even if Bram Bogart himself never joined any group). Indeed, structure, light and monochrome are the main concerns of this international group of artists founded by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in 1957, and supported by Lucio Fontana.
