History

The Academy was founded in 1748 as a school for drawing by the painter, Philippe Karel Marissal, at his home. [1] During his studies in Paris, Marissal had become impressed by the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture , and was inspired to create a similar establishment in his home city. [1] The Academy was granted a royal charter in 1771 by empress Maria Theresa of Austria.[ citation needed ]

In 1995, the Academy was one of the sixteen educational institutions that were merged into the Hogeschool Gent. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Flemish Expressionism</span>

Flemish Expressionism, also referred to as Belgian Expressionism, was one of the dominant art styles in Flanders during the interbellum. Influenced by artists like James Ensor and the early works of Vincent van Gogh, it was a distinct contemporary of German Expressionism. Contrary to the more rebellious and erotic nature of many German Expressionist works, the Flemish art of the School of Latem was more oriented towards the farming life, and was expressed in earthy colours and vigorous brushwork. It was also in general more oriented towards France and Brussels than to Germany, and incorporated elements of Fauvism and Cubism, for example the interest in "primitive" art, of both the ethnic and folk traditions. Flemish Expressionists like Spilliaert were more influenced by Ensor and Symbolism, or like Wouters were closer to the vibrant colours used by the Fauvists. The main proponents were Gust De Smet, Constant Permeke and Frits Van den Berghe.
