Robert Giron
Robert Giron (5.4.1897 Ixelles/Brussels - 24.9.1967 São Paulo) was a painter until the early 30s when he decided to give up painting to succeed his father as director of the new Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels.
Brussels became a cosmopolitan art center at that time. Robert Giron had a decisive share in this development until his death. Under his leadership, the Palais des Beaux Arts became the venue for Belgian, European and international contemporary art.
