→Felix de Boeck "Nighlights" Label
Felix de Boeck (1898-1995), born in Drogenbos (Flemish Brabant), is regarded as one of the founders of abstract painting in Belgium in the 1920s. De Boeck continued to work on his family farm painting only on Sundays throughout this life. Following a visit to Antwerp in 1950, de Boeck began a series of paintings entitled ''Nachtlicthen'' (Nightlights) which depict a "decentralization and fragmentation of the light source inside a clear geometric structure." This series would be interspersed with other paintings throughout the rest of his career.<<http://www.felixart.org/nl/?n=130&n=1&n=1&auto_id=159>> ''need reference tag''. As a nod to a hometown artist, 3 Fonteinen uses this label for some of its Oude Geuze Vintage releases as well as for the [[3_Fonteinen_Oude_Geuze_1998_(50th_Anniversary)|50th Anniversary Oude Geuze]] from 1998.
