(b Brussels, 28 April 1879; d Brussels, 10 Jan 1957). Belgian painter, printmaker and writer. He learned to draw in his father’s lithography studio. In 1900 Tytgat entered the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and studied under Constant Montald. His first paintings were influenced by Symbolism and in particular the work of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, whom he admired. He met Rik Wouters in 1907, and the two became friends. World War I drove him into exile, and he lived as a refugee in England until 1920. There, he not only painted but also made prints, including woodcuts and linocuts with the help of his wife, Maria. She was also his model for the numerous canvases painted in London, for example The Pose (1918; Brussels, Mus. A. Mod.). His early work was full of sensitivity, using bright tones that accentuated delicate greys in an impressionistic manner. Towards 1925 Tytgat became aware of Expressionism. His plasticity grew stronger, and his colours darker, and his desire for simplification came to dominate the forms (e.g. Violinist , 1929; Ostend, Mus. S. Kst.). Tytgat was a member of the Art Contemporain group in Antwerp, and of Groupe des IX, Le Centaure and Sélection in Brussels. He played an active role in Belgian Expressionism. At the end of his career, Tytgat abandoned the subjects of his youth—merry-go-rounds, childhood, window views, couples—and turned towards more fantastic subjects, drawing inspiration from mythology, history and pure imagination in such works as Iphigenia Embarking for the Sacrificial Island (1950; Brussels, Mus. A. Mod.). His literary output was also quite abundant and he also wrote and illustrated accounts of his childhood memories. Only a selection of his writings has been published.  (hide)
