A Belgian artist in Italy: Italian Art History and Culture in the work of Jan Vercruysse (1948-2018) Ghent University
This research will investigate the artistic, intellectual and institutional interaction between the Italian and Belgian art scene during the 1980s and 1990s. This broader exchange will be analysed through a profound study of the artist Jan Vercruysse (1948-2018). To this end, underexposed aspects of Belgian and Italian art of the last quarter of the 20th century will be reassessed.
