In Glasses, Luc Tuymans and the MAS bring together an exquisite selection of more than twenty works. They include portraits, both of 'nameless people' and of historical figures, and other works, and they have never been seen together before. The selection includes iconic works from Tuymans' oeuvre, whose major themes include Nazism, colonialism and nationalism. In the series Die Zeit, the SS man Heydrich hides his face behind dark glasses, the young Baudouin steps off a plane in Léopoldville concealed by his sunglasses, the laughing American family man Milteer, with eyes wide open behind his glasses, is an extremist and racist, and the face of Flemish author Ernest Claes becomes a kind of blank mask with glasses. Exhibition: MAS, Antwerp, Belgium (13.05-18.09.2016).

Work Description
"Luc Tuymans has been at the forefront of the re-energising of painting over the past fifteen years. Using a restricted palette of eerily bleached-out colours and giving his paintings an apparently aged, cracked patina, he imbues everyday objects with a sense of impending menace, hinting at the terrors that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life. This book is an essential reference to the career of one of the most important painters working today."--BOOK JACKET.
