## About Louis van Lint

Louis van Lint (1909–1986) was a Belgian painter and watercolorist recognized as a leading figure in Belgian post-war abstraction. Born Louis Noël van Lint in Sint-Joost-ten-Node, a municipality of Brussels, he trained and worked in Belgium throughout his career. His practice spanned painting, watercolor, drawing, and scenography, and his work evolved toward the abstract vocabularies that defined Belgian art in the decades following the Second World War. Van Lint's paintings are represented in institutional collections and documented by major art-historical databases including the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History. He died in Brussels on December 27, 1986. The artist's estate maintains an official website at louisvanlint.org.

## Common works and media

Van Lint produced oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings. His auction appearances include abstract compositions and works on paper in various sizes.

No evidence of editioned prints or multiples was found in the available source material.

## Market and appraisal context

Louis van Lint's works appear at auction primarily as paintings, watercolors, and works on paper, categorized under Belgian Post-War art. Collectors and appraisers evaluating a van Lint work should consider the medium, dimensions, date of execution, provenance history, and condition. Works signed 'Louis Van Lint' are consistent with the artist's known practice. Exhibition records and inclusion in institutional collections can support attribution and value assessment. Auction results should be compared with lots of similar medium, period, and scale for relevant comparables.
