Description: Oostkamp: Stichting Kunstboek, 2012. 31cm., hardcover, 256pp., illus., most in color. French text. Exhibition held at Centrum Scharpoord, Knokke-Heist. Summary: Since 1880, Knokke-Heist has grown from its two original coastal villages and two Polder area villages into a first-rate, art-loving seaside resort offering high lifestyle content. From the start of the epoch of impressionism, painters have been drawn to the seaside because of its beauty and its peace, its immense stretches of dunes and the surrounding Polder pastures. For many, this East Coast landscape provided a whole new source of inspiration. They were particularly attracted by the special ‘light’ quality of the area. ‘From the studio to the coast’ shows us a piece of local history of supra-local significance, depicted in paint and colour. Both canvases by the great artists and lesser known names are reproduced in this catalogue. As their contribution was just as important in the art world in and around Knokke and Heist. They were just as dedicated and practised their art with just as much love and passion. Their high-quality artistic work and they also rightfully deserve a place in the review exhibition and in the catalogue. More than 300 paintings demonstrate the growth and expansion of these two seaside resorts set against the backdrop of green and idyllic countryside.
