Author: Breukel, Koos
Title: Hyde
Description: Amsterdam, Willem van Zoetendaa, 1996. First edition. Hardcover without dustjacket (as issued). 18x15. 9075574037. Mint. New/New, . ¶ The series of portraits of Michael Matthews might almost be described as a manifesto, so strong are the lines of force prefiguring Koos Breukel’s later work. He originally responded to a request from Matthews, an HIV-positive poet and performer who saw these photographic sessions as his last performance before his death. These are sombre images of dry, dark, cracked skin, of the pure lines of a delicate bone structure, capturing the light falling on the ultimate beauty of a changing human body from which Koos was to make an artwork in its own right – with the little book composed by Willem van Zoetendaal forming its delicate yet powerful punctuation.
