Luc Tuymans, “The Summer Is Over” at David Zwirner
The Belgian painter’s approach has always been predicated on what could be described as a “secret history” formula, in which otherwise obtuse imagery is given a superficial charge once the viewer is aware that the subject at hand is related to the Holocaust, say, or to his own country’s history of colonialism. In his latest works, Tuymans takes a similar tack to the quotidian backdrop of his own life, presenting a rare self-portrait and paintings of details drawn from the buildings he walks by every day.
