Jean-Marie Bytebier, Verleden/Continuous

There is a devastating beauty in a work of art that has been pared down to its essence. The Ghent painter Jean-Marie Bytebier applies this method uncompromisingly. He paints and repaints his canvases until nothing remains that is not necessary. Bytebier's paintings can best be described as abstract landscapes. This book provides a full survey of his career with an emphasis on the production of the last few years.
