Jack Godderis / Goethals / Paul Gomze


Jacques Godderis ( 1916 - 1971)



We bought this portrait being anonymous. However after
some investigations we could conclude it is one of a few
self portraits he made during his life time. And what
often is remarkable: Colors differ just by looking at
it from a different angle.


This detail gives some insight in how he builds up
his face and borders it with thick colorful lines.
Work on canvas. Dimensions: 70 / 83 cm.


And of course his signature: Just "Godderis".





Albert Goethals Sr.  (1885 - 1973)





This painter from Bruges (Belgium) worked a lot
in his town of birth. A lot of painters were inspired
by this beautiful historic city. Albert Goethals in
fact made a whole serie of etchings from all kind
of spots in his native town as did hisson later on.
Work on Canvas. Dimensions: 70 / 90 cm.


This painting is all about the light and the contrast
of it when sunlight was playing alongside the houses


As the light clearly comes from the opposite this
side of the bridge reflects in a very dark way.


And his signature of course. Changing a bit over time.



Paul Gomze



This watercolor we acquired for very little. Sometimes
it is a mystery for us how it can be possible that other
people are simply not interested as it is quality to
our believe. This artist hasn't been mentioned in the
registered works of Paul Piron but auction results in 
the past are proving he should have been.
Work on paper. Dimensions: 33 / 43 cm.


At first we saw an "R"  as the first prefix. By a better observation
it appears that we should have read a "P" what makes it complete: 
Paul Gomze, in fact a member from a whole family of artists.
