Rinus Van de Velde

Published in conjunction with an exhibition on Belgian artist Rinus van de Velde at CAC Málaga from February through March 2013, this catalogue focuses on the self-referential nature of his work. The titles accompanying many of his images, in which the artist himself is the protagonist, are small narratives about the fictions they depict, or real-life reflections on the creative process, his beliefs and sentiments. In opposition to the real self, his self-portraits are an exercise in introspection that focuses on a recurring theme artistic creation but also the anti-ego. Besides numerous works and texts by the artist, the book includes a critical essay by Juan Francisco Rueda.
