Artist alert: new acquisitions

About the artist - Jules Vermeire

Jules Vermeire was a well-known sculptor, particularly known for his female heads, masks and charcoal drawings. He also worked as a woodcarver and glass designer.

Jules Vermeire studied at the academies of Ghent and Antwerp. When the First World War broke out, he fled to the Netherlands with his brothers, where he would remain for the rest of his life. He lived in The Hague and Wassenaar.
Vermeire initially worked extensively in wood and horn, and later also in bronze, marble and stone. He mainly created heads, masks and animal figures. He also produced many drawings, often depicting female heads. In his charcoal drawings, he used soft transitions and subtle gradations of grey and black.

His work is represented in collections including the Kröller-Müller Museum, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Museum of Modern Art.
