Some minor scuffs and fox spots to reverse of dustwrapper, else fine. "When facing a painting by Jan Vermeiren, one often has the curious sensation - both unnerving and exhilirating - of being sucked into the vortex of another world, a world in which colour is not a property or an attribute but a physical reality, and a theme in its own right. It is a colour so rich with darkness, and at the same time so luminous with mystery, that it would seem the night itself has bled upon the canvas. This night is infinitely ambiguous, conjuring up a remote North, of tundras and steppes, of medieval monsters, of myths of Good and Evil, its blues - ultramarine and prussian and cerulean and the occasional touch of cobalt, infused with pruples and greens - suggestive of both pagan rites and the stained-glass windows of Chartres. But at the same time it is a night of the deepest South, a night of Africa, throbbing with subliminal sound and the shadows of lithe or ponderous predators.". Seller Inventory # 12777
