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.

Compositie [Composition]

Painting, 157 x 121 cm.

Collection: Collection Verbaet, Belgium.

Van Anderlecht’s paintings are larger and faster than the few other products of ‘gestural’ art in Belgium. Enthusiasts for his work – Jean Dypréau, Philippe d’Arschot, Raoul Vaneigem – speak of passion, of dramatic, loud images, unambiguous signals of revolt. The abrupt, consciously applied paint strokes, concealing and transparent, lead to a compelling, total effect. As the painter himself puts it: *“It is humanity as a whole that makes our painting: through its obsessive questioning, it forces us to trace the image of its destiny. Passions and instincts are father to the crime… and to my painting.”*
