Jeune Peinture Belge

Jeune Peinture Belge.
An avant-garde artists' association founded in Brussels in 1945 with the aim of holding exhibitions of contemporary Belgian art throughout Europe. The members of the group (who included Pierre Alechinsky and Pol Bury) were strongly individualistic and had no common programme, but they were basically abstract in their outlook and were influenced particularly by the expressive abstraction of the post-war École de Paris. The group dissolved in 1948.
