Walter Leblanc’s Gouache, 1958 is included in the exhibition ‘Collection of M’ at M Leuven. From ancient masters to contemporary makers and everything in between, this presentation showcases the richness of M’s collection and challenges you to actively look. Masterpieces and little-known gems take you down unexpected parallels or highlight the burning issues of the day.

“Leblanc paints by means of light, without using any pigments. When the spectator finds himself in front of the canvas, it vibrates as if activated by the spectator. The action of the shadow and the torsions of the threads give the canvas a tactile value and show the materiality of the work.” — Eva Wittocx, head of contemporary art at M Leuven
