He wrote poems, essays, reviews, an autobiography, dialogues, plays and a travel diary. Continued studies at the academy of fine arts in antwerp. He opted for a post-impressionist touch and assimilated the work of j. Ensor and the fauvist painters. Around 1916, he evolved towards cubism and futurism. It is also the time of the first collages. From 1920, he produced dadaist objects, assembled using a wide variety of materials. This aspect of his work makes it possible to designate him as an avant-garde artist. In 1927, he renounced modernism and drew inspiration from medieval bruges. From 1930 to 1935, he went through a mystical-religious period in a cubist-expressionist style. After 1935, he experienced a more intimate period, less tormented, he devoted himself to photographic montages. On the threshold of the second world war, his work became more irrational, symbolic, visionary. He paints "poezeloezen", half-virgins, half-film actresses. The woman becomes the theme principal of his research. At the same time, he returned to dadaist assemblages. works at the royal museum of fine arts of antwerp (antwerp), belgian state (brussels), royal museums of fine arts of belgium (brussels), provinciaal museum voor moderne kunst (ostend) this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
