Jeanine Behaeghel was a Belgian artist who was born in Bruges in 1940 and died there in 1993. She was a painter, graphic artist and sculptor. She trained at the Bruges Academy (1956-1959), in applied graphic design in Düsseldorf with Walter Breker (1959-1962) and in graphic design at the Royal College of Art in London with Richard Guyatt (1963-1964). Extract from the press: ‘These paintings have undergone a major evolution in recent times. From the virtuoso play with lines, the boxes of colours have been condensed into a number of abstract ‘portraits’; portraits in a misleading sense, rather typologies devoted to women, painted in a much softer tone because the painter has also changed his painting material’ (G. Gyselen, 1983) and “Both in the paintings and in the images, the organic, round and full, rhythmic and spherical image reduced to essence”. Mentioned in the ‘Lexique des artistes visuels de Flandre occidentale II’. (PIRON)
