For the young painter Charles Eyck, France was the most important country of orientation. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1922 and traveling to Italy, the painter went to the south of France for four years. He then made repeated visits to Paris and Cagnes, but eventually settled in Schimmert in southern Limburg. Despite being deaf, Eyck made many trips abroad. He incorporated his impressions into an astonishingly versatile oeuvre: he became famous as a painter, draughtsman, sculptor, glassblower and ceramicist, and produced many monumental murals. Simply put, he combined the influences of Picasso, Matisse and Cobra into a unique romantic expressionism.
