Did his artistic development come to a standstill — or did it receive a powerful impulse? In relative isolation, far away from direct artistic influences, Permeke found exactly what he needed. This period proved not to be an interruption, but a turning point: he developed a strong, personal visual language there that laid the foundation for his later, iconic work.
