Lismonde Jules

Jules Lismonde was a Belgian artist who was born in 1908 in Anderlecht and who died in 2001 in Linkebeek. He was a Belgian painter, graphic artist and draftsman. He was also a designer of carpets and stained-glass windows. Education at the Academies in Brussels (1924-1928) and Sint-Joost-ten-Node (1934), together with L. Van Lint, Anne Bonnet and E. Mahy. Debuted ca. 1925 with romantic-literary paintings, which he opposed in 1934 to make the line and black and white gain in value. From 1935 he mainly focused on drawings and engravings in black and white. Came to abstract studio work with an intimate character, mainly because of a pointillist technique. Approx. 1950 the figurative subjects were greatly simplified geometrically. Dominating diagonal lines brought movement in the static oeuvre after a while. A poetic musicality grew from composing drawings with areas consisting of pencil strokes, creating numerous shades of gray. The lines ran over these dotted areas and the recessed white. Approx. 1958 followed a short period of baroque lyrical abstract drawings. Then came a return to purer structured linear compositions that evoke a mysterious world. Was a member of the Jeune Peinture Belge Group in 1946-1947. In 1954 he obtained a scholarship to the Calcography Nazionale in Rome. Became a member of Kunst van Heden in 1956 and a founding member of the Cap d'Encre Group in 1963. In his drawings the interplay of lines represents perspective, it is the reconstruction of intensely poetic spaces in which the real and the unreal flow into each other. The black-and-white technique remained faithful throughout his career. Bas-relief in the Pétillon metro station in Brussels (1976). Work in the Museums in Antwerp, Brussels, Ixelles, Ghent, in the Print Room in Liège, among others. Mentioned in BAS I,II and Two centuries of signatures of Belgian artists. (piron)
