Vanriet. Vanity, Hardback Book

Vanriet. Vanity Hardback

Hardback

Description

The new book of Jan Vanriet, a pivotal figure in the Belgian narrative painting movement, shows the artist in his most personal way.

His family history, marked by World War II, and personal memories characterise the more than 100 oil paintings he made from 2012 until 2014. Vanity is a fascinating tour of the artist's ever-expanding universe, guided by the renowned British art historian Charlotte Mullins.

Thematic and stylistic diversity, the ever changing tone of the works demonstrate that Vanriet is an artist daring to explore new horizons. Vanriet is a man with a distinguished record as an artist.

He represented Belgium at the Sao Paulo and Venice biennials.

In 2010 the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp invited him to 'close' the museum with the exhibition Closing Time and in 2014 he was acclaimed for the expo Losing Face at the 'Kazerne Dossein', an expo travelling to Moscow in 2015.
