First Latem School

About

The First Latem School was a group of Symbolist artists who gathered in the village of Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium, around 1899. United by a shared interest in spiritualism and a rejection of academic realism, the group included key figures such as George Minne and Valerius de Saedeleer.
