Walter Swennen
Walter Swennen (born 1946 in Brussels, Belgium) is a Belgian artist who lives and works in Brussels. Work Originally trained as a printmaker, Swennen’s early career revolved around poetry, philosophy and artistic happenings.

Swennen works without one signature st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
