BRUSSELS, BELGIUM.- The Centre For Fine Arts Brussels presents Family Affairs - Brothers and Sisters in Art, on view through September 10, 2006. In collaboration with Munich's Haus der Kunst, the Centre for Fine Arts takes a look at sibling relationships in the domain of artistic creation. The artistic destiny of members of the same family would seem, to some extent, to bear out a determinist view.The exhibition opens with the eighth century (Herline and Relinde in the convent of Maaseik) and takes in the great schools of painting in modern times before concluding with the 21st century. The main focus is on painting and drawing, without neglecting sculpture, design, music, cinema, and video. Some of the artists concerned are major figures: the brothers Jan and Pieter Brueghel, Johannes, Ambrosius and Abraham Bosschaert, Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo, Giorgio De Chirico and Alberto Savinio, Marcel and Suzanne Duchamp, Alberto and Diego Giacometti, Koen and Frank Theys, L.A. Raeven. The rivalry that could be expected to emerge among such artistic siblings does not seem to have affected them. Indeed, collaboration often develops in a spirit of fraternity, with the pairs in question functioning as one unit and producing work in common - hence the title of the exhibition: Family Affairs.
