Vingt, Les
or Les XX
Group of Symbolist artists, including James Ensor, Fernand Khnopff, and Henry van de Velde, who exhibited in Belgium during 1891–93. Belgian Symbolist painting employed simplified forms, heavy outlines, a subjective use of colour, and a heightened spiritual content inspired by religious, exotic, and “primitive” cultures. The styles of various members of Les Vingt eventually merged into the new Art Nouveau style.
