Paul de Moor freezes pictures, snapshots, conversations, impressions and emotions to form a portrait of Luc Tuymans like water turning gradually into ice. In this book de Moor invites the young reader into the strange and gripping world of Luc Tuymans, one of the most important contemporary artists on the international scene. My grandfather is a huge hat in the park. His face a black patch under a wide brim. Hes holding me firmly by the hand. Were feeding the wild ducks and the geese. Its cold. Ice cold. My grandfathers voice comes from the black patch under the wide brim of his hat. A warm, soft voice. A grandfather voice. A big-hat voice. With stories in. With stories he told me and with stories he would tell me one day.

Luc Tuymans (b. 1958, Mortsel) is a Belgian artist who is internationally known for his paintings that engage equally with questions of history and its representation as with quotidian subject matter cast in unfamiliar and eerie light. Painted from preexisting imagery, his works often appear slightly out-of-focus and sparsely colored, like third-degree abstractions from reality. Whereas earlier works were based on magazine pictures, drawings, television footage, and Polaroids, recent source images include material accessed online and the artist’s own iPhone photos, printed out and sometimes re-photographed several times. Since the 1980s, Tuymans has steadily exhibited in the United States, Europe, and abroad, and his work is represented in major museum collections.
