This catalog became the reference work on the Belgian artist and was published on the occasion of the exhibition presented at the Museum of Fine Arts in Mons from September 18, 1997 to January 4, 1998. Three years after the retrospective Anto Carte, the Mons museum devoted a large-scale exhibition to the painter Louis Buisseret (Binche, 1888 - Brussels, 1956). Buisseret also played an important role in the city of Hainaut as a teacher, then director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Mons. The meditative practice of the portrait makes this painter the special defender of a silent and humanistic painting based on the knowledge of the old masters, from Fra Angelico to Piero della Francesca. His sometimes enigmatic portraits - often female - bring Buisseret closer to the Italian art of his time.
