Publisher's Synopsis
The artist Jose Vermeersch (1922-1997) is known for his ceramic sculptures of heterogeneous figures. Yet he was a painter, weaver and designer too, who created a rich oeuvre imbued with his passion for people, animals and life. This book pays tribute to the genesis of his figurative work and uses around 100 sculptures and paintings to show the exceptional way in which his pictorial and his ceramic work are interwoven. The indeterminate and non-binary character of Vermeersch' oeuvre - from gender to species (human/animal) - is explored in depth along with ideas, such as sustainability and fragility.
