The catalogue accompanying the exhibition dedicated to Luc Peire (1916-1994) at CC Scharpoord in Knokke-Heist, a fashionable seaside resort and, in the 1950s, a centre of modernist experimentation. The artist often stayed there in the summer, but was primarily active in Paris. In both the book and the exhibition, we see how Peire, caught between local roots and international ambitions, developed a universal visual language that brings together humanism, intensity, and experience. His oeuvre bears witness to a continuous dialogue between formal order, color experience, and sensory atmosphere—the only building blocks from which a work of art is constructed, according to himself. Luc Peire: Abstraction in Abundance invites us to understand the artist’s artistic journey as a quest for a universal visual language that continues to resonate to this day. IN DUTCH, BUT AVAILABLE IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH UPON REQUEST!.
