Christian Dotremont

From childhood he was surrounded by literature and art; his father edited and published periodicals about art, and Dotremont very early started to do the same. Through all his life Dotremont experimented with the art - wanted to find the importance of art.

Incessant he worked with words - pictures and signs looking and uncovering the facets of art. Dotremont couldn't stop playing with words and concepts - twist them in his own philosophic way, and each time end up with a surprising result. Even though he worked with many aspects the most important was always the words. Dotremont was a poet; he expressed his feelings and thoughts to the spectator on the beautiful whiteness of the paper.

He created torn signs from written arabesques, which he named 'Logograms'.
