1911
Gustave Van de Woestijne didn't believe in sugarcoating reality, and this 1911 portrait proves it. He paints a peasant with a deeply weathered face, missing teeth, and a piercing gaze that seems to look right through you. The man's black cap dominates the top of the frame, while a simple farmhouse sits quietly in the background, grounding him in his rural world. It's a powerful slice of Flemish Expressionism, showing that true art doesn't always have to be pretty—it just has to be real.
