Jef Verheyen - Artist's Writings and Theory
Ensemble
For Jef Verheyen, writing was nearly as critical as painting. He was a man of images but also of words and ideas. His art – painting – was rooted in the conceptual. Every handwritten draft of his published essays was saved, along with notes on other theoretical musings. This collection includes the groundwork and first ruminations of manifestos such as Essentialisme (1958), Pour une peinture non plastique (1959), and Nieuwe Vlaamse School (1960).
