Paul De Vree

Über den Autor

Paul De Vree was a prominent Belgian poet and artist known for his contributions to the Concrete Poetry movement. Born in Antwerp in 1923, he dedicated much of his life to exploring the visual aspects of poetry, merging language and visual art in innovative ways. His work often challenged traditional notions of poetry by emphasizing the physical presentation of text on the page, a hallmark of Concrete Poetry that sought to engage readers not just through words but through visual experience as well.

Throughout his career, De Vree published several influential works, including 'Concrete Poetry: A World View' and 'An Anthology of Concrete Poetry', which helped to popularize the genre and expand its boundaries. His artistic vision was shaped by a desire to create a more interactive and engaging form of poetry that resonated with the viewer's aesthetic sensibilities. De Vree's contributions to the Neo-Avant-Garde movement further cemented his place as a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern poetry and art.
