Kees Visser, Monochromes ? (2022)
This sumptuously designed book presents the work and method of visual artist Kees Visser, from his early works with letters and texts, his research into form and colour, to his self-designed ‘catalogue raisonnée’ and sketchbooks, which are as much a part of his oeuvre as his completed works.
Kees Visser reinterprets the heritage of modern art, combining the languages of Mondriaan, De Stijl, and Matisse into a personal research into form and colour. For example, by introducing a diagonal edge to his paintings, Visser combines a form dear to Richard Serra with painterly experiments reminiscent of Yves Klein. He often uses the framework of a grid to determine the shape of his paintings, which is never exactly rectangular.
