Abstract

Frans Masereel's contribution to the renewal of avant-garde language is transcendent. The unity of his plastic discourse protects his evolution in the various cultivated procedures. The Belgian artist exceeds the expectations aroused by the German Expressionists of the first quarter of the 20th century. From the hemerographic and historiographic documentary sources, the trajectory of the xylographer and his exile, the fruit of his pacifist commitment, is analyzed. His social creed, attested in the works conceived during his extensive period of activity, is not eluded either.
