 - [Portret van Joris Van Severen], s.d., 38,5 x 29 cm; gesigneerd in de rechter

beneden hoek, stempel op verso.

€ 700/800

Het bekendste zwart-wit portret van de Belgische politicus Joris Van Severen (1894-1940). Van

Severen was stichter van het Vlaams-nationalistische en solidaristische Verdinaso. Willy Kessels

(1889-1974) was een Belgisch fotograaf en wordt gezien als de belangrijkste vertegenwoordiger

van de “modernistische” fotografie die vanaf het einde van de jaren 1920 op de voorgrond trad.

In 1935 sloot hij vriendschap met Van Severen en realiseerde hij foto- en filmreportages voor het

Verdinaso.
