The emigrants

Victor Charles Hageman (born February 5, 1868 in Antwerp , † October 24, 1938 in Uccle / Ukkel ) was a Belgian genre and portrait painter.

Hageman studied at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten van Antwerpen .

An important part of his work was the life of the Jewish emigrants from Russia, who started their sea voyage to America in Antwerp . He painted the everyday environment of the Amsterdam harbor - dock workers, seamen, vagabonds, but above all the emigrants, whom he portrayed with moving realism. He often dealt with the topic of "mother and child".

From 1891 he was a member of the "Als Ik Kan" group. In 1905 he became a founding member of the “Kunst van Heden” association and exhibited for it. In 1913 he settled in Uccle. From 1904 he took part in art exhibitions, u. a. at the Salon de L'Art contemporain in Antwerp 1908, Kunstverbond 1918, Brussels Salon 1910, 1912 and 1913, at the Great Art Exhibition in Düsseldorf 1911 and 1918, in the Munich Glass Palace in 1913.
