Edmond Dutry

This painting, created by Edmond Dutry around 1935, depicts a handsome man with blue eyes. The piece is rendered in oil on canvas, and while it is not signed or framed, it remains in very good condition.

Edmond Marie Marie Maurice Dutry was a Belgian painter and draughtsman born on 30 August 1897 in Kalken (East Flanders). He was the son of Albert Dutry, a prestigious lawyer, justice of the peace, painter and art critic, and Marie Odile Dutry-Tibbaut, a watercolour painter and pastelist. 

After the First World War, he became a painter and had a studio on the Recolettenlei. He exhibits regularly at the Ghent Salon, painting mainly portraits, figures, still lifes and many Ghent cityscapes.

Using a very personal technique, her work, especially her portraits, is very expressive and rigorously executed, where the search for character is taken to the extreme.

Edmond Dutry died in Ghent on 8 February 1959 at the age of 61.
