It centres on the artists’ shared admiration for the oeuvre of the Luxembourg-born photographer Edward Steichen (1879–1973), and their mutual respect. The book juxtaposes Olaf’s series \u003cem\u003eIm Wald\u003c\/em\u003e with watercolours and sculptures by Op de Beeck and landscape photographs by Steichen. Although very different, surprising connections emerge between the three artists in this richly varied presentation of images in black, white and shades of grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication accompanies the exhibition \u003cem\u003eErwin Olaf \u0026amp; Hans Op de Beeck: Inspired by Steichen\u003c\/em\u003e at the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) in Luxembourg from 16 December 2022 to 11 June 2023, curated by Ruud Priem.
