Victor Delhez // ‘trivial lino’

In 1959, Victor Delhez was honoured by the young artists of Antwerp avant-garde group G 58 as a pioneer of abstract art in Belgium. Michel Seuphor too noted the prominent role his youth friend played in the breakthrough of Belgian abstract art. The post-war revival of abstract art inspired Delhez to make a new series of works het called ‘trivial linographs’. What started out as a search for new forms for a New World in the 1910s and 1920s, had become some sort of spielerei with form and colour.
