SANGUINE/ LUC TUYMANS ON BAROQUE

Sanguine is a personal interpretation of the Baroque based on innovative juxtapositions and unexpected associations of works by cont emporary artists and Old Masters. Avoiding a rigid chronological order or a strictly historiographical approach, Tuymans evades the traditional notion of the Baroque and invites viewers to reconsider 17th century art, as well as the contemporary research, by placi ng artists and their role in society at the centre of the exhibition narrative.
