Een bezoek aan Jozef Van Ruyssevelt - Edouard Vergnon - Hardcover (9789493039728)

In the space of a relatively short career, the painter, etcher and photographer Jozef Van Ruyssevelt (1941-1985) created a rich and intense body of work that is still far too little known. He excelled in his use of colour and chiaroscuro, his everyday surroundings providing an inexhaustible source of inspiration for him: furniture, utensils, plants, walls, windows, foliage, grass and the countryside beyond. Van Ruyssevelt's style is marked by the same abrupt transitions that typified his sometimes exuberant, sometimes despondent personality. This book presents a large number of essential works, many not previously reproduced, supplemented by photographs from the artist's personal archive that are likewise published here for the first time.
