Produktbeschreibung
Extensively researched and illustrated catalogue of the Belgian painter's early works including a wealth of previously unpublished materials and a catalogue raisonné of his works from 1964-1980 / This book focuses on Belgian artist Raoul De Keyser's hitherto understudied early works, including a catalogue raisonné of the paintings made between 1964 and 1980. A leading exponent of European painting from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, De Keyser started painting in the 1940s but aborted his artistic career in the early 1950s, becoming a civil servant and journalist. Only in 1964 did he take up painting again with works blending the influence of Raveel, Dine, Held, and Noland. Soon, he developed his own idiom, evolving into a more subdued and abstract style in the 1970s. Based on extensive archival research, this book contains a wealth of artworks, photographs, posters, and documents that never have been published before.
