Bringing our clients stunning, rare, and unique works With a reputation for value and discretion, Eric Gillis Fine Art has become a notable figure in the international art market. We offer high-quality drawings, prints, and paintings from a diverse range of artists and time periods, and pride ourselves on the level of expertise and care we provide our clients. We are renowned for the eclecticism of the works we offer, spanning from the late 15th century up to the 1920s: from Mannerism, to the European schools of the 17th and 18th century, to Romanticism, Impressionism, Nabis, Pont-Aven, and Belgian Symbolism. Our history and experience A well-known collector, advisor, and gallery owner, founder Eric Gillis began as a scholar of art history and archaeology, earning a master’s degree at Lausanne in the 1990s. He went on to work in museums in Bern, Paris, London, and New York for C G Boerner before establishing Eric Gillis Fine Art in 2011. Specialists in Belgian Symbolism One of our best strengths, the Belgian Symbolism movement emerged as a turning point between 1880 and 1910. We deal with artists such as Ensor, Finch, Rops, Khnopff, Spilliaert, Degouve de Nuncques and Delville that led the way for notable later Belgian artists such as Schmalzigaug, Vantongerloo, and Magritte. Symbolists believed in expressing the inherent mystery of life through evocative and mystical symbols, as opposed to literal or realistic interpretations. This movement is credited for influencing the Art Nouveau philosophy, among many other styles and artists.
