Erik Satie (Le prélude). 1925.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in lower right. 204 x 146 cm (80.3 x 57.4 in).

• Expressive homage to the famous composer Erik Satie, who died this year.
• Fascinating work in which the examination of currents of Fauvism, Cubism and Expressionism creates a very individual visual language.
• Large-format major work from the important creative phase after the return to figuration
.

We are grateful to Mr. Mark Uytterhoeven, Mecheln, Dr. Johan De Smet, Gent, and Dr. Pascal Ghyssaert, Bruges, for their kind expert advice.
