The East is not merely a touch of varnish, it is something that defines her art.\" - Prof. Dr. Willy Vande Walle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her first monograph, Nicole Halsberghe provides an extensive overview of her oeuvre of the past 50 years. During her many travels to the East she always had a sketchbook and camera at hand. She captures everything she sees, everything that inspires her, and transforms it into acrylic paintings, drawings and lithographs. Traces on the Way shows how she 'abstracts' subjects, interprets them and makes them come to life. She portrays mankind and their surroundings in an impressive and unique way, from intimate rooms and train compartments to the immense, vast Japanese landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText in English and Dutch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lannoo International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062282305776,"sku":"9789401441889","price":50.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789401441889_p0.jpg?v=1769887628","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789401441889","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
