Biography

[edit]

Van Cutsem was born in Brussels into a family of hoteliers[1] who had become wealthy from their business. He studied law at Liège. During long stays in Paris he developed good relations with many of the artistic community. In 1890 he acquired two adjacent blocks of flats on the Avenue des Arts in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode which he had refurbished by Victor Horta.

He died in Ochamps of pneumonia.

Among the many artists whom he supported were Édouard Agneessens, Théodore Baron, Géo Bernier, Jan Van Beers, Eugène Broerman, Albéric Collin, James Ensor, Joseph Stevens and Willy Finch.
