Published by Graphic Matter, printed by Roger Vandaele on BFK Rives 250g/m2. The Nose/Le Nez (2014) by Luc Tuymans is a lithograph that isolates a close-up of the artist’s own nose and surrounding facial features. Stripped of full context, the fragment becomes a quiet meditation on identity, perception, and self-representation. Tuymans’ muted color palette and grainy textures heighten the introspective quality of the work. By reducing the human form to a single element, Tuymans explores how meaning and recognition can emerge from minimal visual cues. This intimate print reflects his broader interest in memory, history, and the ambiguity of images. Printed on BFK Rives paper, the edition comprises 75 prints and 5 artist proofs.

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.
