Live and act
Gaston Bogaert was a trained architect who has devoted himself to interior decoration, theater decoration and advertising graphics since 1938 . From 1965 he taught at the School of Advertising Technology in Brussels. Painting has been one of his passions since early youth. In 1965 he showed his works to the public for the first time in a gallery in Brussels. Success on the international art market came quickly. He became known mainly for his imaginary landscapes, train stations and facades, which were reminiscent of Paul Delvaux . The writer Thomas Owen (1910–2002) was inspired by Bogaert's pictures for the poetry cycle “Les Maisons phantastiques”.
