Hélène Van Coppenolle (Antwerp, 1905 - Antwerp, 1985) was a Belgian illustrator, graphic designer and teacher.
Early life and education
[edit]She studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp) in 1925, and obtained diplomas in 1936 in advertising art and in 1940 in book illustration from the Vocational School for Arts and Crafts in Antwerp,[1] where she took classes with Jos Léonard and Joris Minne.[2] In 1944, she graduated in graphic design (book illustration and engraving) from La Cambre National School of Visual Arts and Architecture in Brussels.[1]
Career
[edit]In 1932, at the age of 27, Hélène Van Coppenolle founded the Sint-Lucas Pavilion.[1] In 1959, the school was officially recognised as Sint-Lucas in Antwerp under her leadership; it is now a department of visual arts within the Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts. The first diplomas were signed by Jos Léonard, Joris Minne and Eugene Yoors. In 1936, architect Eliane Havenith was one of the first alumni of the Sint-Lucas Pavilion.[1] Graphic designer Lucien De Roeck was invited by her to teach at the Institute.
Van Coppenolle illustrated books and stories by authors such as Stijn Streuvels,[3][4] Gerard Walschap,[5] Paul van de Woestijne,[6][7] Hans Christian Andersen,[8][9] Antoon Coolen[2], Franz Hellens[2] and Felix Timmermans.[2] Her first solo exhibition of book illustrations, held at the Municipal Print Museum in Antwerp in 1941, was "a surprising success .... none of [the] individual exhibitions were as well-attended as this one",[2] and a reviewer in the journal De Gulden Passer [The Golden Compasses] wrote that van Coppenolle "possesses qualities such as we have rarely encountered in debutants."[2] A facsimile of the 1943 edition of Streuvels' novella Jantje Verdure, illustrated with "particularly beautiful woodcuts" by Hélène Van Coppenolle, was published by the Stijn Streuvels Society in 2006.[3] For van de Woestijne's 1944 publication De Klucht van boer Eenos [The Farce of Farmer Eenos], based on an 11th century Latin poem, Van Coppenolle designed for each page a frame in the style of naive illuminations, resulting in a book with "the allure of a rare edition".[7] She also illustrated a notable edition of the Passio Francorum secundum Flemingos [The Passion of the French According to the Flemish], which commemorates the Battle of Courtrai (1302), which was published in 1944 after the Battle of the Scheldt and the liberation of Antwerp during World War II.[10]
Hélène Van Coppenolle also designed posters, including the poster for the '5th Biennale Middelheim' at the Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum; that poster is in the collection of the Letterenhuis in Antwerp.[11] Her work was displayed at the world's fairs of 1937 in Paris, 1939 in New York and 1958 in Brussels. The Antwerp provincial pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair incorporated large-scale wall graffiti of the nymph of the river Scheldt by Hélène Van Coppenolle, "illustrating the traditional fusion of art crafts with architecture and interior design."[12]
Collections
[edit]Works by Hélène Van Coppenolle are held in the collection of the Letterenhuis[13] and the Plantin–Moretus Museum[14] in Antwerp.
