The great war in Flanders Field

From 1914 to 1918 the 'Westhoek', the western part the Province of West-Flanders, i.e. the area of Nieuwpoort, Diksmuide, Ieper (Ypres), Poperinge, was the scene of the Great War. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of more than 20 nationalities fell in this conflict. After the often pointless battles and vast destruction, the Westhoek rose from its ashes. Today the Westhoek wants to spread a message of peace all over the world, with the In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, the IJzertoren in Diksmuide, the numerous military cemeteries, the war memorials and sites.

The coast has always exerted a strong attraction on artists. Consequently, quite a number of avant-garde artists originated from the Flemish Coast or stayed there at a certain point in time. The exhibition at the PMMK, the Museum of Modern Art by the Sea in Ostend -the city of Ensor- wants to highlight this aspect in particular.

Brugge
