Maurice Wyckaert – Compositie – Lithograph

View in a Room

Maurice Wyckaert’s Compositie is a vibrant lithograph that bursts with expressive, abstract forms and rich colors. Dominated by sweeping yellow shapes, the composition is interwoven with touches of red, blue, and green that create a sense of lively movement and organic flow. Wyckaert's style here is reminiscent of abstract expressionism, where forms appear to mimic elements of nature, such as landscapes or foliage, but remain open to interpretation. The fluid lines and bold color contrasts invite viewers to engage emotionally, making each interpretation a unique experience. This limited edition print encapsulates Wyckaert’s dynamic and spontaneous approach to abstraction.

Maurice Wyckaert (Belgium, 1923–1996) was an influential painter associated with the CoBrA movement and lyrical abstraction. Known for his colorful, expressive landscapes, Wyckaert’s work often blends elements of abstraction with vibrant natural forms, reflecting his deep connection to nature. His art captures an emotional intensity that has left a lasting impact on Belgian modernism.

A painting breathes when it balances energy and silence.
- Maurice Wyckaert

A neo-expressionistic, lyrical abstract painter and printmaker, Maurice Wyckaert broke into the art world with his unique take on expressionist still-life, the subject of many of these paintings being vegetables in his early career. Wyckaert’s career began to evolve from still-life into lyrical abstraction – for which he notably took influence from Eastern calligraphy - he then evolved into abstract landscapes comprised of vivid, attractive colours – Levensboom (Tree of Life) is one of the more notable works of this kind. Wyckaert was heavily involved in several different art movements throughout his career; he was a co-founder of the Taptoe Brussels magazine, and involved in the Situationalist International group and the International Group for an Imaginative Bauhaus – he is also recognised for his influence and close relations with several members of CoBrA. Wyckaert was not only inspirational, but also inspired, most notably by James Ensor and William Turner and their practice in Luminism.

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
