He spent his formative years in Liege where his closest boyhood friend was Richard Heintz (fr:Richard Heintz) (1871-1929), who also became an internationally known landscape artist. Although the name "Dewachter" may have Flemish roots, Dewachter always considered himself a Walloon.   Related Paintings of Louis Dewis :. | The Garden at Villa Pat | A Valley in the Belgian Ardennes | Notre Dame | Old Beggar | The Village Church |
