JO DELAHAUT (Vottem, 1911 - Schaerbeek, 1992). "Carrés monochromes", 1986. Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated at the bottom. Titled, signed and dated on the back. Measurements: 91 x 72 cm. The Belgian painter Jo Delahaut approached in the forties the geometric abstraction with a radicalism unknown at that time in his artistic environment. The work shown here belongs to his period of maturity, when the artist extreme formal and chromatic purism, which can be compared with the American works of the "hard edge" and "minimalism". But, at the same time, he picks up Mondrian's legacy. His geometric abstraction was a means of awakening the mechanisms of intellectual activity, a metalanguage addressed to the mind. Nourishing the ancestral dialectic relationship between form and color, he used plane geometry in his work because he considered it "the most representative of man". He stresses this idea when he writes: "it brings clarity to representation; it is legible, intuitively understandable even to those who are ignorant of the theory". Jo Delahaut is one of the leading figures of geometric abstraction in Belgium. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Liege, he was a student of Auguste Mambour (1928-1934). He received a doctorate in Art History from the University of Liège and began painting expressionist canvases in 1940. Influenced by the style of the painter Auguste Herbin, he constructed static geometric forms in which, initially, the color of the surfaces played the main role. He was a member of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris in 1946, and of the Jeune Peinture Belge in Brussels in 1947, alongside Mig Quinet (1906-2001), Louis Van Lint (1909-1986), Gaston Bertrand (1910-1994), Marc Mendelson (1915-2013) and Anne Bonnet (1908-1960). He was a founding member of the Belgian group Art Abstrait in 1952, and in 1954 co-authored the Manifeste Spatialiste with Pol Bury (1922), among others. Works: panels for the University Hospital Center of Liège (silkscreen on vitrified enameled steel panels, 1978-1985), collection of the Musée en plein air du Sart Tilman (University of Liège). "Esplanade" (1987), in the Musée en plein air du Sart-Tilman, University of Liège (work restored in 2011). Decoration of the Montgomery station of the Brussels subway. Symphonie n°2, 1986 (Université libre de Bruxelles - Archives, patrimoine, réserve précieuse).
