Constant Permeke:
Retrospective
Brussels, 11 November-20 January 2013,
bozar.be
To mark the 60th anniversary of his death, Bozar
pays tribute to the great Flemish Expressionist.
Permeke was, as one critic wrote, “a delightful,
ever-young barbarian”, and his stoic fishermen
and farmhands, earthy landscapes and sculptures
of female nudes are all well represented here.
Directors vie for the coveted
Bronshästen (Bronze Horse) at
Stockholm’s annual film festival.
This year’s line-up features over
170 films from 40 countries,
including some promising directorial debuts; look out for New Yorker Benh Zeitlin’s astonishing
Beasts of the Southern Wild (above right) which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.
Naked Men: From 1800
to the Present
Vienna, until 28 January 2013, leopoldmuseum.org
We’re more accustomed to seeing female nudes in
galleries, but the Leopold Museum turns the tables
with its autumn exhibition. Artworks run from Cézanne’s
uninhibited multiple self-portrait (left) to British duo
Gilbert & George in their white Y-fronts.

Bruges, from 25 November,
historium.be
Bruges’ newest museum is a
multi-sensory experience, using
smells, sights and sounds to

– and to recreate painter Jan
van Eyck’s chaotic studio.
