Paul Haesaerts is mainly known as an art critic. With his brother Luc, he published extensively on contemporary Belgian art. In addition, he wrote numerous books under his own name, including the voluminous basic work Sint-Martens-Latem. Blessed haven of Flemish art. He also made several films, e.g. about James Ensor, Rik Wouters, Henri Evenepoel and expressionism. Edgard Tytgat portrayed the brothers Luc and Paul Haesaerts in 1932.
