    NLENFR

    During the cultural city festival Antwerp Baroque 2018. Rubens Inspires, the M HKA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, juxtaposes the spirit of the baroque masters with the vision of contemporary top artists. With the exhibition Sanguine/Bloedrood (Blood Red), curator Luc Tuymans aims to overwhelm the visitor by placing key works from the baroque of, among others, Francisco de Zurbarán and Caravaggio, in dialogue with works by classical contemporary masters, such as On Kawara and Edward Kienholz, as well as new works by contemporary stars such as Zhang Enli, Takashi Murakami, Michaël Borremans, Sigmar Polke and Tobias Rheberger.

    °1907 †1999

    Henri Storck (b. 1907 – 1999) is considered one of the earliest filmmakers in Belgium. He discovers the possibilities of the camera in the early 1930s, the era of the experimental short film. Storck mainly focuses on an innovative genre, that of the artistic documentary. After the Second World War, he makes his most well-known films, first about Paul Delvaux and Felix Labisse, then about Peter Paul Rubens. Storck tries to combine art criticism with the visual power of the cinema, which results in the first film about the life and work of Rubens with sound and movement. The filmmaker attaches great importance to the educational role of the cinema and is therefore particularly didactic in his approach.
