“Arno never dies, even now that he has died. There is his music. And there are these images of Danny Willems. Danny’s photos don’t sing. They whisper. You hear the singer, his voice, his stutter, his laugh, his breath. This book is the shadow of a life. ”
— Stephan Vanfleteren
Danny Willems – not without reason the sixth member of T.C. Matic – was at the side of Belgian singer Arno Hintjens for fifty years, as a photographer and as a friend. The number of photos he took of Arno, from his first performances to his very last flight, is countless. This book shows Arno’s life in photos. It is the story of two men who not only gave themselves completely to their passion for music, but also made each other great.
With an overview of Arno’s career in more than two hundred images, dozens of anecdotes, the complete artwork from 1976 to 2022 and a foreword by Stephan Vanfleteren.
Publication at the exhibition Arno – The Show of Life in the Venetian Galleries of Ostend from December 19, 2023 to May 21, 2024.
