“When I took a look at all the portraits that I have painted up until now, I was astounded to see that three quarters of these portraits feature people with glasses. I didn’t do this on purpose. [...] Glasses radically change the physiognomy of a face but we don’t consider this a radical change. Instead we think of it as something normal, something to which we merely respond with indifference.” Luc Tuymans, 2009
Luc Tuymans and the MAS present a unique selection of portraits in “Luc Tuymans. Glasses”. It is the first time that these portraits are exhibited together. Every portrait is masked by glasses. Discover the stories behind these portraits together with a guide and find out how glasses significantly influence people’s gaze and people’s appearance.
