Eloquent Formalism

€35,00

Eloquent Formalism celebrates the remarkable legacy of Jan and Lieve Andries-Vanlouwe and the contemporary art collection they passionately assembled. This beautifully curated publication offers an intimate look at a selection of important post-war and contemporary artworks, reflecting the couple’s deep appreciation for art’s capacity to transcend boundaries and inspire new ways of seeing.
 
With a focus on the purity of form, color, and texture, the book highlights works by notable artists such as Léon Spilliaert, Mark Rothko, Serge Poliakoff, and others who helped shape the European and American art scenes of the 20th century. In addition to the collection’s profound artistic value, the book chronicles the Andries-Vanlouwe Foundation’s mission of preserving this cultural treasure while making it accessible to the public.
 
Through essays, rich imagery, and thoughtful reflections, Eloquent Formalism not only showcases the visual power of the collection but also serves as a testament to Jan and Lieve’s lasting contributions to the art world. This volume is a tribute to their vision, their passion for art, and their commitment to education and cultural exchange.
 
This publication is released alongside the euphoniums exhibition, inaugurating the renovated pavilion of the Museum Dhondt Dhaenens, in November 2024.
