Oscar Jespers - De kapmantel (1922)
He was a friend of the Belgian painter Paul Joostens and of the poet Paul Van Ostaijen. He made his first direct carvings in 1917 in a tentative Cubist style. His Constructivism began to assert itself in 1921, while he was finding a balance between material and technique, but later in the decade he moved towards Expressionism.
