Laura Kollwelter, 14/18 – Rupture or Continuity (2018)

14/18 – Rupture or Continuity takes a look at Belgian artistic life in the years around the First World War and how it was affected by this event. The Great War was a catalyst of artistic oppositions, leading on the one hand to a Belgian avant-garde that explored new forms and styles, while continuing to uphold a more traditional and established art on the other. The collection of essays in the present book – based on a research project, exhibition and symposium led by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts -  highlights these contrasting facets of Belgian art in its rich historical context during the early 20th century
