Frans Masereel

Fifty years ago, on 3 January 1972, the woodcarver and graphic artist Frans Masereel died. After an exceptional mourning ceremony at the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent, his coffin was transferred to Campo Santo in Sint-Amandsberg. On the occasion of this 50th anniversary, MSK and Amsab-ISG are paying warm tribute to Masereel and the friendships in his prolific career. Each will draw from its own collection and focus on a different aspect of Masereel's life and oeuvre.
