Bram Bogart ranks amongst the principal artists of the ‘Informel’, the large post-war movement which abandoned geometric abstraction in favour of a more intuitive form of expression, similar to action painting, but often a lot more textural. Bogart worked at the heart of the movement, which included artists such as Alberto Burri in Italy and Antonio Tàpies in Spain. In 1946, Bogart visited Paris and settled there during 1951-59. His works from his Parisian period are delicate and subtle yet show strong gestural action. After his move to Belgium in 1959, Bogart’s work became widely recognised.

From the early 1960s onwards, he developed his unmistakable original canvases characterised by a new technique radiant with colour, light and optimism. Although Bogart has used the same technique since the early 1960s, he has always been able to renew his style and is considered a pioneer of post-war matter painting. Recently Bogart's contribution to art history was realised with an acquisition of a number of works by Tate Modern, London and a centenary retrospective at the Prinsenmuseum in Delft.

The work of Bram Bogart is present in the following museum collections: Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam; S.M.A.K, Ghent; Musée du Louvre, Paris; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Tate Modern, London; Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney; National Gallery of Victoria, Australia; Guggenheim, New York.
