"United States Museum Debut of Paintings by Belgian artist Raoul De Keyser"
2001-03-11 until 2001-04-11
Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago
Chicago, IL, USA United States of America

Since the 1960s, the paintings of Raoul De Keyser have uniquely defined a place for themselves within the scope of contemporary art. Influenced by the post-war American Modernist movement, De Keyser's canvases reference Color-field painting and Minimalism. Like the work of the pioneers of abstract painting, each of his paintings contains its own individuality.

De Keyser was born in 1930 and in the mid -1960s he joined New Vision, a group of painters interested in revitalizing earlier strains of European formalism. Since then, he has become an increasingly important figure in contemporary painting, having exhibited widely in Europe including Documenta IX in 1992.

This extraordinary survey of twenty paintings will reflect De Keyser's work from 1980 through 1999. His series of monochrome, dualchrome and abstract forms illustrate the broad range of painterly possibilities, boundaries explored, and broadened palette since 1980. This exhibition has been organized by independent curator Greg Salzman and will have two venues on its North American tour: The Goldie Paley Gallery at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia and The Renaissance Society. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog edited by principle essayist Steven Jacobs with writings by Roberta Smith, Ulrich Loock, Wim Van Mulders and others.
