M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

1892 - 1957

Died in Elsene (Belgium), born in Antwerp (Belgium).

From quite early on, Jos Leonard was well acquainted with the avant-garde in Europe. With Jozef Peeters he co-founds the group Moderne Kunst in 1918. There are notable influences of De Stijl and Russian constructivists both in Leonard’s paintings and his graphic works. The quest for pictorial efficiency that radiates from this work, will eventually lead him away from painting. After 1925, he opts - as do many East European constructivists - for ‘useful’ image reproduction; he then makes photomontages and becomes full-time designer of books and printed work.
