Focus Exhibition
>
Son of the painter Émile Lecomte, Marcel Lecomte (1900-1966) entered into artistic life in 1918 under the influence of Clément Pansaers, the most eminent Belgian "Dada". He then joined the modernists of the 7 Arts magazine before rallying to the Correspondance group under the leadership of Paul Nougé, and thus Surrealism. In 1923, he revealed the work of Giorgio de Chirico to René Magritte. His poetic work is characterized by a careful attention to surprises and coincidences, with an acute sense of the moment.
