Herman De Vries To Be All Ways To Be

The relationship between man, culture and nature is increasingly becoming a subject of (artistic) research within the visual arts – a theme on which herman de vries has been working for decades. For more than 60 years now he has been developing a highly versatile oeuvre in which art, science and philosophy are confronted with the world´s, and especially nature´s reality. De vries´ recent work dominates his presentation in Venice, as it does in the book ´to be all ways to be´. The book´s guideline is a dialogue between de vries and Jean-Hubert Martin about the works on show in Venice.
