Ex Libris #7 - "Illusion and Reality"(Christopher Caudwell, 1937) - Book with separate coloured screen print "Tiles" (47 x 37 cm) // Tiles by Luc Tuymans, produced as a limited edition screen print in 1970, is part of the Ex Libris #7 - Illusion and Reality collection, referencing Christopher Caudwell’s 1937 work. The screen print presents a minimalist depiction of tiled surfaces, rendered in soft, muted tones of gray and white. The subtle shifts in light and shadow create an impression of depth and texture, suggesting the reflective, almost sterile quality of bathroom tiles. The piece captures Tuymans’ characteristic style of blurring reality and abstraction, evoking a sense of quiet and contemplation. The artwork, with its restrained palette and simplicity, hints at themes of memory and perception, urging the viewer to find meaning within its understated surface.

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.
