Dehoy, Charles
(b Brussels, 14 April 1872; d Brussels, 11 Sept 1940). Belgian painter. Orphaned at the age of 14, he worked successively as a house painter, cobbler and picture framer before devoting himself to painting. He was completely self-taught, and like Louis Thévenet he was supported by Auguste Oleffe, who took him in and advised him generously. As with many other Belgian painters the Midi had an enormous influence on his work. Some time before World War I he made several journeys there and so came into contact with French avant-garde painting.
