'Het versluierd beeld' (2001) by Luc Tuymans is a screen print on simili-Japans paper, notable for its restraint and quiet ambiguity. The composition is vertically divided into two soft-toned rectangles: the upper part features a simplified, dark, rounded form bisected by a vertical band of light—a vaguely anatomical or mask-like shape—while the lower part is more abstract, resembling a diffused shadow or hazy landscape. The title, which translates as 'The Veiled Image', reflects Tuymans’ ongoing concern with the limits of representation and the concealment of meaning. In line with his broader oeuvre, this work meditates on memory, distortion, and the unreliability of the visual. The print was created in a limited edition of 55, signed and numbered by the artist, and printed by Roger Vandaele for CIAP in Hasselt.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
