LESSONS IN BEAUTY (ANTOON VAN DYCK)
Stefaan DecostereA portrait of Antoon Van Dyck, often called "the Mozart of painting". If there is an enigma about Van Dyck’s character, it is complicated by a scarcity of first hand accounts of him and the almost complete lack of letters by his hand. In the nineteenth century he was often cast, disparagingly, as Rubens’s brilliant but degenerate successor - effeminate, dissolute, irresolute...

It also touches on such issues as morality, voyeurism, nature vs. culture and power, as eight people are heard reading, in the first person, from the testimony of Monica S...
