George (Georges) Minne (born Georgius Joannes Leonardus Minne; 30 August 1866 – 18 February 1941) was a Belgian artist and sculptor famous for his idealized depictions of man's inner spiritual conflicts, including the "Kneeling Youth" sculpture series.
18 de jan. de 2024 · In his work of the late 1800s, George Minne captured a sense of spiritual unease strikingly contemporary in its outlook. The attenuated proportions, softly modeled flesh, and unstable posture of his simple, mystical figures express anxiety and resignation.
His modern spirituality, situated on the medieval mythic of Jan van Ruusbroec (1293/94-1381), fit in well with the attempts of the contemporary avant-garde towards what moved the soul. Many admirers in the time see in the stylised art of Minne also a revival of the Gothic.
Trained at the Royal Academies of Fine Art in Ghent and Brussels, George Minne is acknowledged to be Belgium’s foremost early modernist sculptor. His deeply personal works bridged the fin-de-siècle symbolism of Rodin and influenced the bold expressionism of early twentieth-century artists such as Kokoschka, Barlach, and Lehmbruck.
