Paul van Ostaijen

Paul van Ostaijen ( born February 22, 1896 in Antwerp, † March 18, 1928 in Miavoye - Anthée ) was a Belgian poet and writer Grotesk.

Van Ostaijens modernist work demonstrates a willful and vielformigen Expressionism, influenced by Dadaism and early Surrealism.

Paul van Ostaijen was a staunch Flemish nationalist and activist in the Flamingant movement, whose aim was the emancipation of the Flemish people of the Walloon domination. After the First World War, he had to flee for a short time in Berlin, where he met artists and writers of Dadaism and Expressionism. He fell into a deep emotional crisis.

On his return to Belgium, he opened an art gallery in Brussels. There, the signs of his suffering tuberculosis were first visible, and he died of this disease in the sanatorium of Miavoye - Anthée in the Ardennes. He is buried in the cemetery Schoonselhof in Antwerp.

His so-called ' pure poetry ' ( ' zuivere lyriek ') were published posthumously under the title Posthumous Poems.
