A Distanced View: One Aspect of Recent Art from Belgium, France, Germany, and Holland “The hype of German and Italian Neo-expressionism has obscured our awareness of the current state of affairs in other European countries and of artists working outside the dominant modes of painting and sculpture. A Distanced View: One Aspect of Recent Art From Belgium, France, Germany, and Holland seeks to redress this situation by introducing fourteen artists (including two collaborative teams) who have chosen a more hybrid approach with overlaps or crossovers between media. And while they by no means form a cohesive stylistic group, they do pursue a particular mode of inquiry distinct from the more emotional, and publicized, style of painting favored by the neo-expressionists. Theirs is a more distanced, mediated mode which shuns the personal signature or brush-stroke of the artist and places them within both the American conceptual and more specifically European heritage of Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Marcel Broodthaers, Joseph Beuys, and Daniel Buren.”
