Frans Mortelmans 1865-1936

Edition 2022

Frans Mortelmans 1865-1936

During the four-day international flower exhibition Fleuramour from 23 to 26 SEPTEMBER 2022, the Mortelmans Foundation exhibited a selection of paintings by Frans Mortelmans at Alden Biesen.
 
An ideal exhibition to premiere this new art book.
 
After a first monograph published in 2002, and a second art book 'Virtuoos Bloemenschilder' in 2009, many requests followed from all over the world to review as yet unknown paintings. Thus, almost 200 new paintings were discovered and assigned. Today, our inventory comprises around 900 works.
 
After several years of preparation, we present today a new, richly completed and revised monograph. A voluminous publication in four-colour print, more than 400 pages, trilingual 'Dutch-French-English', with a fully adapted and revised works catalogue, including some 800 significantly improved photographs of his works.
 
The design was done by a team of board members and esteemed professionals. We thank everyone for their contribution in graphic design, copywriting, translations, printing, publication and distribution.
