Luc Tuymans - Eva Meyer-Hermann
Catalogue Raisonne of Paintings: VOL. 2, 1995-2006
KORTE INHOUD

Tuymans is widely credited with having contributed to the revival of painting in the 1990s. His sparsely colored, figurative works speak in a quiet, restrained, and at times unsettling voice and are typically painted from preexisting imagery that includes photographs and video stills.
