Sponsor the Louis van Lint Catalogue Raisonné

Louis Van Lint (1909–1986) was a Belgian painter and a major figure in post-war abstraction. His progression from figurative painting to abstraction revealed an exceptional talent as a colourist and master of form. After the Second World War, Van Lint became a founding member of La Jeune Peinture Belge (The Young Belgian Painters), alongside artists such as Gaston Bertrand and Anne Bonnet, while James Ensor served as honorary president. He later became closely associated with artists of the Cobra movement.
