Bram Bogart ranks amongst the principal artists of the 'Informel', the 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 settled in Paris for a decade where he created some of his most delicate and stylish work. His matter drips and interacts on the canvas in earthy tones, which refer to his attachment to the Low Countries. In 1959, Bogart moved to Belgium and following trips to Italy, he developed his unmistakable original canvases which were characterised by a new technique radiant with colour, light and optimism.
Although Bogart used the same technique since the early 1960s, he was always able to renew his painting. Thus, he is considered one of the most important post-war 'matter' painters. Bogart is also credited with the conversion of Antionio Tàpies to matter-painting. Recently Bogart's contribution to art history was realised with an acquisition of several works by Tate Modern, London and a centenary retrospective at the Prinsenmuseum in Delft in 2022.
