BIO:

Roger Hebbelinck (Brussels, 1912) was a Belgian artist. He worked as a painter, watercolorist, engraver and filmmaker, but was mainly known for his engraving. He was a pupil of A. Bastien, J. Delville, G. Van Strydonck, A. Stevens, I. Van Mens, J. Van Santen and P. Mathieu, with whom he studied at the Brussels Academy. There, he was taught watercolor by I. van Mens and engraving by J. van Santen. He engraved a large number of quaint city corners in historic cities. He provided the etchings for E. Verhaeren's book The Illusive Villages. As a filmmaker, he directed, among other things, the documentary The Birth of an Etching which won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival and a documentary on the construction of the atonium. As a visual artist, he created a print shop etching before the war in 1932 and engraved many picturesque cityscapes in Belgium. He has also engraved and watercolored in the south of France and Spain. Particularly interesting is his color engraving, which he made after his colleagues V. de Saedeleer and A. Saverys. See less
