Biography

Minne was born in Ghent, Belgium. He studied architecture at the Ghent Academy, where his interest shifted to painting and sculpture. He participated in the Belgian Symbolist group Les Vingt, where he interacted with Khnopff, Ensor, and others. A representative work from his mature period in the 1890s, The Fountain of Kneeling Youths (1898), was conceived as a decoration for a museum entrance. This monumental work shows five nude youths crouching in a circle with their backs to the viewer as they surround a fountain. The expression of the bodies has none of the sense of mass or mature emotion found in the artist of the preceding generation, Rodin. Influenced by medieval Gothic sensibilities, Minne created mystically introspective sculptures and had a major influence on Klimt and on the German sculptors Lehmbruck and Barlach.
