Ossip Zadkine (1888–1967) is considered one of the greatest innovators of modern sculpture. His diverse body of work—ranging from monumental sculptures to gouaches, watercolors, and drawings—draws inspiration from classical naturalistic sculpture, avant-garde art, and Slavic traditions.
Zadkine shared a special connection with Belgium, and with Antwerp in particular. His Belgian network—comprising gallery owners, critics, collectors, and Flemish artists—helped launch his international career. This publication explores the unique professional and personal bonds that the artist cherished throughout his life, which drew him back to the city on the Scheldt time and again. It also highlights the life and work of Valentine Prax—an artist in her own right and Zadkine’s wife—who played a significant role in the sculptor’s life and career.
This publication accompanies the exhibition *Ossip Zadkine and Belgium*, held from October 31, 2026, to April 18, 2027, at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA). The exhibition is the result of an exceptional collaboration with Paris Musées / Musée Zadkine. IN DUTCH, AVAILABLE IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH UOPN REQUEST!
