# Floris Jespers

> Floris Jespers (1889-1965) was a Belgian artist, known for building Cubism, Fauvism, Futurism, and German expressionism, and an interest in both Kandinsky and Van Gogh into a style of his own in paintings, graphic art, painted glass, frescoes, tapestry design and his colorful late work, influenced by his travels to the Belgian Congo. As Jespers described his process in 1959:I had discovered with the Cubists that a painting must be built. Expressionism then taught me that light and air around an object were not enough. The object itself has essential values: shape, length, width, depth. Thus expression ... had to be given to the naturalistic form of the object.
