Biography
Antoine “Anto” Carte was a Belgian figurative painter. Sometimes compared to his friend and peer, the Flemish artist Gustave van de Woestyne, Carte’s Neo-Realist paintings of farmers and miners are dark and expressive. He employs the figure symbolically, both highlighting the struggles of the working class and conveying fantastical narratives. Born on December 8, 1886 in Mons, Belgium, Carte apprenticed to the studio of painter Frantz Depooter for 14 years, and received his formal training at the Academy of Mons and Brussels. He began calling himself Anto Carte and in 1928 helped to form the Expressionist painting group Nervia. He taught at the Higher Institute of Decorative Arts of La Cambre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, both in Brussels. Carte died in Ixelles, Belgium on Febrary 15, 1954.
