by Stéphane Boudin-Lestienne, Alexandre Mare

About this book

In 1922, three very young people created a revue of the name of '7 Arts'. As its name implies, it intends to promote all arts but above all their synthesis, in view of the architecture and cinema, which have this particularity of meeting them all. Pierre Bourgeois, the poet, Victor Bourgeois, the architect and Pierre Louis Flouquet, the painter, will soon be joined by Georges Monier, the musician and Karel Maes, but also an engraver and furniture creator. 100 years ago, the avant-garde flourished in Brussels. In 1922, Pierre and Victor Bourgeois, Karel Maes, Pierre-Louis Flouquet and Georges Monier launched the influential magazine 7 Arts. The Brusselsers were ardent advocates of plastic pure (or: geometric abstraction) and promoted a synthesis of all arts. Painting, sculpture, decorative art, literature, music and film were henceforth viewed from architecture and urban planning. Very soon the founders received approval from well-known artists such as Magritte, Servranckx, De Boeck, Peeters, Gailliard, Baugniet, Hoste, Jasinski and Gaspard.

Comme son nom l'indique, elle entend promouvoir tous les arts mais surtout leur synthèse, vue au travers de l'architecture et du cinéma, qui ont cette particularité de les réunir tous. Pierre Bourgeois, le poète, Victor Bourgeois, l'architecte et Pierre Louis Flouquet, le peintre, seront bientôt rejoints par Georges Monier, le musicien et Karel Maes, peintre mais aussi graveur et créateur de meubles. 100 jaar geleden floreerde de avant-garde in Brussel. In 1922 lanceerden Pierre en Victor Bourgeois, Karel Maes, Pierre-Louis Flouquet en Georges Monier het invloedrijke tijdschrift 7 Arts. De Brusselaars waren vurige pleitbezorgers van de plastique pure (of: geometrische abstractie) en propageerden een synthese van alle kunsten. Schilderkunst, beeldhouwkunst, decoratieve kunst, literatuur, muziek en film werden voortaan bekeken vanuit de architectuur en stedenbouw. Heel snel kregen de oprichters bijval van bekende kunstenaars als Magritte, Servranckx, De Boeck, Peeters, Gailliard, Baugniet, Hoste, Jasinski en Gaspard.
