Product description
Jozef Hoemaeker (1911-1980) A serene minimalist countryside landscape featuring a silhouetted, rustic building set against a soft, muted sky. The simple, clean lines of the structure—reminiscent of an old farmhouse or barn—blend harmoniously with the earthy tones of the fields and the delicate gradient of the sky. The minimalist composition emphasizes the quiet, open space, evoking a sense of tranquility and calm. With its subtle interplay of light and shadow, this artwork captures the essence of rural life in a refined, understated manner. Ideal for those who appreciate both the simplicity of minimalism and the charm of the countryside. Perfect for adding a touch of quiet elegance to any modern space. Jozef Hoemaeker (Izegem, July 11, 1911 - Antwerp, August 21, 1980) was a Belgian painter. After his education at the Sint-Amands College in Kortrijk, Hoemaeker studied in 1929 and 1930 at the Saint Lucas Institute in Ghent. He continued his studies in 1930 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he was awarded three first prizes. From 1933 to 1943, he was taught by Isidore Opsomer. In 1932, he received the "Als Ick Kan" Art Circle award for his still life paintings. He then worked at the Kunstwerkstede Gebroeders De Coene N.V. in Kortrijk and in the stained glass studio of Hippolyte Peene in Bruges. Afterwards, he permanently established himself as a painter in Antwerp. Although Hoemaeker also painted still lifes and landscapes, human figures were the main theme of his work. His landscapes are empty, devoid of life signs. His entire body of work embodies silence. In 1943, he missed out on the Prix de Rome, but as a result, his "Lady with White Blouse" was purchased by the Ministry of Fine Arts. Another work by Hoemaeker titled "Paul De Vree" is located at the Letterenhuis. He died at the age of 69 in his hometown of Antwerp. (!) Please note that the artwork is framed in a simple frame with thin plexiglass (not real glass). It will be well packed and protected
