Jules De Bruycker

Ghent-born artist Jules De Bruycker was one of the most pioneering graphic artists in Belgium in the early 20th century. He was primarily known as an etcher and graphic artist. But a core aspect of his oeuvre that is less well-known are his drawings. With this exhibition, the Museum of Fine Arts (MSK) is changing that.
