Belgiens Volkscharakter, Belgiens Kunst by Ernst Wilhelm Bredt
"Belgiens Volkscharakter, Belgiens Kunst" by Ernst Wilhelm Bredt is a historical and artistic analysis written in the early 20th century. The text examines the relationship between the Belgian people's character and their artistic expressions, particularly highlighting how historical events have influenced Belgian art. Bredt aims to illuminate the unique qualities of Belgian artists and their works, portraying both the beauty and the brutality that defines the nation's artistic heritage. The opening of
the work introduces the thematic connection between the tumultuous history of Belgium and its rich artistic tradition. Bredt insists that the violent past has shaped both the character of the people and the creative output of artists, leading to an art form that is deeply real and often reflects human suffering alongside joyous aspects of life. The text outlines Bredt's endeavor to counter misconceptions about Belgian art, advocating for an understanding of it as a product of the nation’s resilient spirit—marked by both humor and profound melancholy. He asserts that this duality, present in both the people and their art, creates a portrayal that is vibrantly authentic, weaving together motifs of life, death, and the celebrations of existence amidst adversity.
