For a long time, the graphic oeuvre of Leon Spilliaert (1881-1946) was, if not neglected, then at least discussed little or summarily. It was only in 1982 that the first exhibition fully devoted to his prints was held. The prints of Spilliaert are perhaps less known than his original works on paper but they are equally mysterious, attractive and varied on topic: portraits, figures, land- and cityscapes, forests and parks...

Together with fellow citizen of Ostend James Ensor, Leon Spilliaert is considered one of the pioneers of Belgian modern art.
