Anne Adriaens-Pannier: Le¿on Spilliaert, Gebunden

Klappentext

This profusely illustrated book explores Spilliaert's interiors and still lifes, revealing their quiet alchemy and introspective depth.

Step into the silent, mysterious world of Léon Spilliaert

A modest but essential part of Spilliaert's oeuvre consists of his interiors and still lifes. These intimate compositions reveal the depth of his vision, as well as his exceptional ability to transform everyday spaces into places of contemplation. Empty rooms, familiar corners and simple objects are rendered with austere clarity, yet carry an intense, almost tangible presence -- despite the absence of human figures. Silence reigns in these works.

This richly illustrated publication brings together new essays by leading Spilliaert scholars, each casting fresh light -- from within their own field of research -- on the genesis of this exceptional body of work by the Ostend artist.

With contributions by Anne Adriaens-Pannier (ed.), Edouard Derom (ed.), Stefan Huygebaert and Marie-Noëlle Grison.
