Marcel Paquet was born in 1947 in Jumet, Belgium. After obtaining his doctorate in 1978 from the Free University of Brussels with a thesis entitled La Difference des Pensees de Kant et de Hegel dans la question de l'essence de l'art, he began work on a monumental Encyclopedie philosophique de la peinture contemporaine. Dividing his time between Brussels and Paris, he has published a number of books on such subjects as Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Botero, and Hans Bellmer.
