Items related to Luc Tuymans - Birds of A Feather
This book compiles the most recent work by Luc Tuymans (born 1958), one of Belgium's most eminent painters. Accompanying a 2015 exhibition, "Luc Tuymans: Birds of a Feather," it shows the artist's fascination with the Scottish Enlightenment and its thinkers, who believed in the ability of humans to shape their future rationally and whose influence extended as far as the US. Stimulated by a visit to the art collection of the University of Edinburgh, Tuymans created three small portraits of Scottish philosophers, originally painted by the 18th-century portrait artist Henry Raeburn. The theme of the Enlightenment is combined with menacing horror, such as in a monumental dark work, "The Shore," which alludes to Goya's "pinturas negras," or in the portrait of the murderer and cannibal Issei Sagawa. Acclaimed British novelist Will Self provides a remarkable short story for the publication, while art critic Colin Chinnery contributes an explanatory essay.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. "This publication marks two important Luc Tuymans exhibitions staged in two UK capital cities, London and Edinburgh. Although in different venues, The Shore at David Zwirner in London and Birds of a Feather at Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh, the exhibitions are united by a theme of Enlightenment; a theme that is explored by the artist through politically complex but elusive means"--Foreword. The British writer Will Self wrote a short story for The Shore, and the art critic Colin Siyuan Chinnery has contributed an explanatory essay for Birds of a Feather. Includes "In painting, you can't go back", a conversation between Will Self and Luc Tuymans held March 6, 2015 at the David Zwirner Gallery in London. Description: 111 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm Contents: The shore / Will Self -- In painting, you can't go back / Will Self & Luc Tuymans -- Plates -- Birds of a feather / Colin Siyuan Chinnery.
