Vingt, Les
Vingt, Les (or Les XX). Society of progressive Belgian painters and sculptors (originally twenty in number, hence the name), founded in 1883 in Brussels, where it held annual exhibitions from 1884 to 1893. The members included James Ensor, Fernand Khnopff, and Jan Toorop. They showed not only their own work, but also paintings by non-Belgian artists such as Cézanne, van Gogh, and Seurat. The society was influential in spreading the ideas of Neo-Impressionism and Post-Impressionism and became the main Belgian forum for Symbolism and Art Nouveau. After it dissolved in 1893, the society's work was carried on by an association called La Libre Esthétique, which ran from 1894 to 1914. Most of the leading Belgian avant-garde artists of the period were members.
