Georges-Émile Lebacq was a Belgian painter born in Jemappes (Mons) on September 26, 1876, he died in Bruges August 4 1950.
Biography
[edit]Avant-garde in his youth
[edit]He began painting in 1896, mainly portraits, at the age of 19. All these paintings, rare for this period may be found at the Museum of fine arts of Mons, BAM, Belgium. At this time he published poems in the young avant-garde magazine "Le Coq Rouge"[1] a symbolist magazine which was created by Georges Eekhoud, Flemish – Francophone writer, Eugène Demolder, writer, Louis Delattre, doctor and Belgian author, Hubert Krains writer and Walloon activist and Emile Verhaeren, poet and writer. There he met James Ensor who wrote many articles and editorials in the spirit of the journal[2] , Maurice Maeterlinck, Francis Nautet and Hubert Stiernet.
In 1899 he participated in the creation of the journal "Le Thyrse" in Brussels (the name of a Dionysian attribute celebrated by Baudelaire in the “Spleen de Paris”3] He was part of the drafting Committee with André Baillon, Emile Lejeune, Pol Stievenart, Léopold Rosy, Fernand Urbain and Charles Viane and wrote articles on painting and poetry [4] He frequented the poet Emile Verhaeren, writer Camille Lemonnier (who sponsored Le Thyrse), Hubert Krains, Jules Destrée, writer and politician, and many others. During this period, he published two collections of poetry " Nuits Subversives" in 1897, a series of prose poems in the hermetic style[5] and "Irrésolvables" in 1899, a collection of poems[6] .
Searching for sunny landscapes
[edit]Having hesitated some time between a career as a writer-poet and that of an artist, he left Le Thyrse in 1907 to devote himself entirely to painting. He travelled with his wife and children to Algeria, Italy, particularly Venice, to the Middle East, finally settling in France in Cagnes-sur-mer where he met the Cannes painter Louis Pastour (1876-1948) and bound friendship with him. He stayed at the Villa des Orchidées, not far from the Domaine des Collettes, a magnificent olive grove which Pierre-Auguste Renoir bought on June 28, 1907, to save it being felled. He primarily painted in France but he regularly returned to Belgium, particularly to Flanders to paint there. After the Second World War he returned to Bruges and remained there until his death. He is buried in the cemetery of Wenduine on the Flemish coast. While his early works (primarily portraits) are examples of classicism in the style of painters of the late 19th century, his works of the period 1907-1920 are resolutely Impressionist works. (This is the case of works like "Femme assise dans une allée", 1918, (BAM de Mons), "Lumière d’été à Vaux-le - Pénil", circa 1918 (private Collection) or "Le repos en terasse" (private collection). After this period he returned to more classical post-impressionnistes works. It is not certain that Georges Émile Lebacq was a self-taught painter. This excellent portrait artist, pastellist, watercolourist, in any case became a student of the Académie Julian in Paris in 1920 with as a master painter Adolphe Déchenaud and Henri Royer [7] . Long before he had attended the Studio of Louis Reckelbus (1864-1958), his friend, a gifted watercolourist and printmaker who became curator of the Groeninge museum in Bruges.
World War 1
[edit]The great war begins. In 1915, the painter is a committed volonteer (he was almost 40 years old). He joined the Calais regiment. In 1917 he was assigned to La Panne (Grand Quartier-Général) as a painter of the army in the famous "Section artistique de l’armée belge en Campagne”[8] . There were 26 artists in this section, including Fernand Allard Olivier, Alfred Bastien, Léon Huygens, Armand Massonet, and Pierre Paulus[9] . During the war, he participated in the exhibition of the painters of the Belgian Front (Switzerland, 1917).
He was sorely affected by the war. Upon his return to Bruges, he found his workshop vandalized, thirteen years of work destroyed, his paintings, drawings, etchings taken by the Germans in 1915. A book of 93 sketchs and oil paintings on postcards were found at an auction in Hamburg in October 2006[10]. In spite of these set-backs, he started to paint again, this time with a new palette and the ambition to become a Church painter.
The painter of gentle harmony
[edit]This is how an art critic[11] described him. Working with watercolor, sanguine, pastel, charcoal ("charcoal taught me to paint " he always said), His many works include “ Abandon” , for which he obtained the Jury’s prize at the 1927 French artists’ Salon,“Rue du Corbeau”, “Vieilles maisons à Furnes” and”La Femme au miroir”. His paintings were exposed for a long period at the Salon of French artists at the Grand Palais (Paris) before World war 2.
Georges Émile Lebacq was a friend of Hubert Krains and Hubert Stiernet for whom he illustrated many stories [12]. In numerous letters to him, Hubert Stiernet wrote: “Work my friend, work, use colour, forget the clouds: the Walloons are shy of the first and headless of the second. Give my compliments to St. François and tell the apple trees in your orchard that they will never bear apples as beautiful as those that grow at the end of your brush! "." In France, Georges - Emile Lebacq frequented Denys Puech, French sculptor, Director of the Villa Medici from 1921 to 1933, an elected member of the Academy of fine arts in 1905 and the opera singer, Charles Panzéra (1896-1976) with whom his daughter, Henriette, took singing lessons. He dedicated a stained glass window "Portrait de Panzéra" to him During the exhibition of November 1923 at the Gallery "Journal" in Paris, Denys Puech wrote of him: "It is with pleasure that I write these few lines on the first page of the catalogue of the Georges Lebacq exhibition, to introduce him to the reader and to express the joy that I have felt in the works of this artist too modestly retired in silence and study”. The Princess Gagarine Stourdza discovered Lebacq in Cannes in 1911. He had asked the President of the association of fine arts of the lovely city of Cannes to accept one of his paintings at the exhibition: “Le Mas Abandonné” a powerful and much appreciated canvas.
He exhibited in a small salon in Cannes, a French town which was accustomed to audacity and the unexpected, where a group of artists, loving light and life, charmed the population each winter by their works.
The elegant visitors came from all corners of the world. He had huge success there. His studies of Bruges and Artois were admired for their wealth of tones and exquisite sensitivity... Our dear Belgians allies, could count Georges Lebacq , this exceptional artist, amongst their artistic treasures and pure glory." [13]
A retrospective was held at the Museum of fine arts of Mons (BAM) (Belgium) in 1957. Many works, including parts of the painter’s studio, currently belong to the BAM de Mons.
Works
[edit]This list is not exhaustive. Some paintings or drawings have unfortunately disappeared. Others are in the Museum of fine arts of Mons (BAM) (Belgium), in the Royal Museum of the army and those of fine arts in Brussels, at the Museum of the Vénerie in Senlis (Oise), the Renoir Museum and Museum of the Château Grimaldi at Cagnes sur mer. The majority of his works are apparently part of private collections. Until very recently, the paintings of this artist were little present on the art market. Emma Lebacq, the wealthy wife of the painter, said that her husband had devoted himself body and soul to his painting not to the commercial and business side of things.
Belgian Period
[edit]From Furnes in 1933 he wrote: "the winter has a very particular character and in Flanders, the sky seems larger on the polders of the horizon where the colourful houses seem small on the ground separated by rows of blossoming willows ".

Notes and References
[edit][1] Born from the split of the Group of young Belgium. Georges Eekhoud, Demolder, Maubel moved away from the old Parnassian review in 1895 and joined up with Krains, Verhaeren and others to found a new purely Symbolist journal; “Le Côq Rouge”. The title comes from the expression "to blackmail the Red rooster", which means to voluntarily set fire to the neighbour’s roof. This anarchist publication, in which there are the signatures of Maeterlinck, Verhaeren and Gide, allowed a wide aesthetic and political debate .

[2] James Ensor writes a few articles in Le Côq Rouge, all well in the style of the journal editorials. Thus he tells the story of Leopold II’s visit to the salon d'Ostend in 1896: the King watched with interest the sorry landscapes of Laermans, Mr. Stevens(Alfred), ran worriedly to him and said: “The author of the painting is deaf and dumb, it is unfortunate that he is blind as well, he could not paint any worse! Farther on,he reiterates the same words in front of a landscape of Claus. Here the King interrupted him by a heart-felt swear...

In 1899, the heyday of Belgium and La Wallonia are gone. Like many young writers, Léopold Rosy and Charles Viane meet regularly at “Au Roi Gambrinus”, rue de la Victoire near la porte de Hal dreaming of founding a magazine, to publish their first poems, to participate in the artistic movements and to be recognised by their seniors. Soon, the journal will emerge, sponsored by Camille Lemonnier himself. It is called Le Thyrse , the name of a Dionysian attribute celebrated by Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris. In the eyes of the founders, Le Thyrse appeared "as a symbol." representing the guardian idea of the windings of the flowers of Art". Rosy and Viane, Gaston-Denys Périer, Albert d'Ailez, Léon Wéry, Charles Govaert, Fernand Urbain, Georges Lebacq and André Baillon.
