Félicien Rops
Overview
Intro
Laboratory of delights
The most poisonous flowering of Symbolism, bourgeois terror, enfant terrible - many terms have been used to describe the Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833 Namur - 1898 Essonnes) and his radical art. Rops was a border crosser. With a keen eye and a sharp pen, he questioned conventions and explored the boundaries of art - celebrated by writers such as Charles Baudelaire and Joris-Karl Huysmans. His works were devoted in particular to eroticism and opposed the double standards and the staid sense of propriety of the bourgeois age. But Rops was not just a provocateur. His art also shows the tensions and clichés of his time - especially with regard to gender roles. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover Rops as a master of the art of drawing - and at the same time to take a critical look at the social ideas of the fin de siècle.
An exhibition in collaboration with the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR), Brussels.
