About Maurice Wyckaert

Maurice Wyckaert (1923–1996) was a Belgian painter, printmaker, and gouache designer recognized for his contribution to post-war Belgian abstraction. Trained at the Academy of Brussels and the Vrije Atelier in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Wyckaert began his career with bold expressionistic still-life paintings—particularly vegetable studies—that critics linked to the tradition of Jean Brusselmans. Over time his work shifted toward lyrical abstraction and a luminist sensibility inspired by J.M.W. Turner and James Ensor, characterized by radiant color and atmospheric light. His work is held in institutional collections including the Tate. Wyckaert's output spans oil on canvas, gouache, and editioned prints, making him a recurring presence in European auction results for modern Belgian art.

Common works and media

Collectors and appraisers are likely to encounter Wyckaert's oil paintings on canvas and panel, gouache works on paper, and editioned prints including etchings and screen prints. Still-life subjects—especially vegetable and floral arrangements—are characteristic of his early period, while later work features atmospheric landscapes and abstracted light studies. Printed editions with variant name spellings (Wijkaert, Wijckaert) also appear in auction catalogues.

Market and appraisal context

Wyckaert's work appears regularly at auction, with over 350 recorded lots across major and regional salerooms. Collectors most often encounter his oil paintings, gouaches, and color prints. Value is influenced by medium and size, with large-format oils typically achieving the strongest results. Period matters: early Brusselmans-influenced still lifes and later luminist abstractions appeal to different collecting segments. Provenance, exhibition history, and condition are standard appraisal factors. No published catalogue raisonné was identified, so authenticity questions benefit from specialist review.
