Albert Bockstael (Anderlecht, September 9, 1898 – Wommelgem, November 18, 1989) was a Belgian artist active as a painter, illustrator, poet, and philosopher.[1]
Bockstael initially created expressionist works. Later on he explored a more magical realistic substyle.[2] Eventually his work transformed into his unique genre named by art critics: "The poetic and mystical realism of Bockstael".[3]
