Félicien Rops
A master of Belgian Symbolism rediscovered! The motifs of Félicien Rops' (1833–1898) erotic works still provoke today. At the end of the 19th century, they shattered every boundary of art. With a sharp eye and a pointed pen, Rops exposed the hypocrisy of the respectable citizen. "I am Rops and I want to be no other!": He adhered to this motto throughout his life.
description
The most poisonous flower of Symbolism, a bourgeois bogeyman – many terms have been used to describe Rops' radical art. Celebrated by writers like Charles Baudelaire and Joris-Karl Huysmans, he was a boundary-crosser who consciously opposed bourgeois double standards with his works. His works – absolute highlights in the field of printmaking and drawing around 1900 – invite us to critically examine the social ideals of the fin de siècle, especially with regard to gender roles.
