Louis van Lint
(1909)

   
 
 

     


Louis van Lint was born 1909 in Brussels. From 1934 until 1938 he studied at the Academy of Art at St. Joostten-Noode and in 1939 he was one of the founders of the art group La Route Libre. In 1945 he viewed an exhibition in Brussels held by the french group Jeune Peinture, and mainly Bazaine from this group inspired him to start painting abstract.

Together with other Belgian artists he founded the group Jeune Peinture Belge. In 1949 this group got in contact with Cobra, and many painters including Louis van Lint joined the spontanious art movement. Louis van Lint lived and worked during Cobra time in the Cobra house in Rue du Marais, and he exhibited at many Cobra exhibitions, one of these being the last in Liegé in 1951.
