Jan De Vliegher
2021 || Hardcover || Els Wuyts || MER || met inkijkexemplaar
Jan De Vliegher’s (°1964, BE) paintings are a meeting of Abstract Expressionism and Impressionistic joie de vivre, joie de peindre pur sang. Since his debut in 1998 De Vliegher has been creating large-scale paintings based on his impressions of daily life. He finds beauty in the small such as paddling beachgoers and porcelain show-off crockery, but also in the large and luxurious such as the halls of Versailles and Venetian terraces.

Another History of Art
2022 || Hardcover || Koenraad Jonckheere || Hannibal books
Reference work by Koenraad Jonckheere offers a new vision on the history of art
“There are many stories of western art that have been written, almost all of them focused on artists, nations, and traditions. But Jonckheere's daring book is a learned and eminently readable story of the art itself, about the questions that works of art try and often fail to answer, and about what they do to us in the process. It's a catalyst for teaching and thinking anew.”
– Marisa Anne Bass, Yale University
“No other history of art comes close to Jonckheere’s. It’s as engagingly written as Gombrich’s classic The Story of Art. It’s neither pedestrian nor a survey of an out-of-date canon. It’s the most ambitious and original general history of art we have ever had. Vigorous, up-to-date, unprejudiced and lively, it’s a history of art of our time and for our time....
