Following my own expo Mystisch Land, Museum aan de IJzer set up an expo: “Joe English, from inspiring art to propaganda”. It shows the art of Joe English during WW1 and the evolution of that body of work towards the flemish nationalist propaganda of the interbellum. I designed the info-posters and helped Peter Verplancke, the museum’s conservator, to set up the scenography.

Henry English
The biography of my great-great-grandfather Henry English, born in Waterford, Ireland in 1853. Orphaned by the potato famine, he arrived in Bruges at the age of 10, where he got an education as a gold embroider and married Marie Dinnewet, his drawing teacher’s daughter.
I made the layout and all graphical works for the 78-page book, self-published by our heritage foundation Joe English, Kunstschilder. A limited edition of 50 hand-bound de luxe editions were made by P. C. De Baere in Bruges.
