Just after World War I, Pierre-Louis Flouquet and the young René Magritte were considered harbingers of the abstract avant-garde in Brussels. Flouquet painted these two works (see also inv. 2016- GA) while the two friends were doing their military service. Magritte was quartered in Belgium, Flouquet, who originally hailed from Paris, in France. After a serious accident, Flouquet was discharged and recovered in Paris. Both paintings are considered important examples of cubo-futurism in Belgium.
