Marianne Van Vyve

Uittreksel

Marianne Van Vyve (1943-1991) was a Belgian artist who lived and worked in Antwerp. She never joined any particular group, but followed her own artistic path, often against the prevailing trends of the time. She captured her emotional landscape in her art, in the intimacy of her various studios. This book explores her intriguing work, examines the impact of her academic training, and outlines her surprising evolution as a painter. It revalues Marianne Van Vyve as a powerful female artist in the broader art historical context and highlights the quiet radicalism of her later work, which has its roots in traditional Native American medicine - publisher's website.
