Gustave Van de Woestijne (1881–1947) was a Belgian painter known for his contributions to the Belgian Symbolist movement and his involvement in the early stages of Expressionism. He was born in the city of Ghent and initially trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent.
Van de Woestijne’s work was deeply influenced by the Symbolist and Post-Impressionist styles, but he also sought to explore more personal and emotional expression through his art. He is best known for his landscapes, portraits, and still-life paintings, often imbued with a certain melancholic or introspective mood. In particular, his use of color, light, and texture was distinctive, as he sought to convey emotions and atmosphere in his work.
Throughout his career, Van de Woestijne was part of various avant-garde movements in Belgium, and his style evolved over time, shifting towards a more expressive and stylized approach. His work was influential among Belgian artists and played a role in shaping the art scene in Belgium during the early 20th century.
