His work fuses the traditions of Old Master Flemish and Spanish still-life genres painting with a late-twentieth-century sensibility.\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nCelebrated as one of the world's most gifted visionary painters, Tuymans has been creating iconic works of art for nearly three decades. For \u003cem\u003eThe Worshipper\u003c/em\u003e he collaborated with a master printer in Antwerp to create a screen print based on his 2004 painting of the same name, the source of which was a photograph Tuymans took in the Mus\u0026eacute;e International du Carnaval et du Masque in the Belgian town of Binche. 'I was mostly using Polariods, which attenuate the colours, making things unclear and imprecise. Polaroids don't provide the same accuracy as digital or film photography, and they present more inconsistencies. I like to work with materials that are inconsistent because they leave more room for interpretation.'\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nAs in much of Tuymans' best work, the bearded figure in \u003cemThe Worshipper\u003c/em\u003e occupies an enigmatic role, in this case a cleric of indeterminate faith engaged in an ambiguous ceremony. Amplifying this sense of mystery is Tuymans' unmistakable palette, with its modulated greens and yellows. The effect is a timelessness that transcends both subject and form. As Ulrich Loock writes in the accompanying volume, Tuymans 'appears to be seeking an escape from the compulsory discourse of modernism, as if the works have their place somewhere else entirely.' This place, so hauntingly evoked in \u003cem\u003eThe Worshipper\u003c/em\u003e, is Tuymans' great artistic discovery.\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePRINT SPECIFICATION:\u003c/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c/strong\u003e Silkscreen\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet size:\u003c/strong\u003e 1050 x 740 mm (41 5/8 x 29 1/8 inches)\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBook case:\u003c/strong\u003e 316 x 273 mm (12 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches)\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint folder:\u003c/strong\u003e 1162 x 760 mm (45 3/4 x 29 7/8 inches)\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nPrinted in 2005 in an edition of 100 plus 5 artist's proofs\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll copies are signed and numbered by Luc Tuymans\u003c/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuc Tuymans Special Edition Monograph\u003c/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nThe only monograph spanning the entire career of Belgian artist Luc Tuymans (b.1958), one of the most influential painters of the last two decades.\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nTuymans' work fuses the traditions of old master Flemish and Spanish genre painting with a 21st-century sensibility.\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nMany works represent domestic scenes or commonplace objects, while others reference directly political source material.\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nThis revised edition has been expanded by 100 pages to include nearly all of the artist's recent paintings, most in full-page format.\r\n\u003c/p\u003e","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026#34;Tuymans is rapidly gaining ground as the successor to Gerhard Richter as the History Painter of the late 20th Century, and this book, which amounts to a catalogue raisonné as nearly every one of his paintings is reproduced, goes some way towards confirming his reputation.\u0026#34;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eArt Monthly\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n","webShortDescription":"A rare opportunity to acquire an original large-format silkscreen print by Luc Tuymans"}
