van Hamme Fernand
Fernand van Hamme was a Belgian artist born in 1911 in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode and died in 1976 in Brussels. He was a painter, draftsman and illustrator. He settled in Paris for some time. He preferred rural scenes, landscapes, sea and forest views, compositions that betray a preference for horses: wild, roaring, running, prancing horses that symbolize the artist's unrest. In later works he also found inspiration in vegetal subjects such as tree roots. In many works he leaned on romance, fantasticism and exoticism. Listed in BAS I and III. (PIRON)
