The Closed Door
About this book
Jean de Bosschère's figures emerge from an uncomfortable world of masks, desire and distorted bodies. His drawings seem to look back at the reader with the knowledge of something they refuse to explain.
The Closed Door brings his strange visual imagination together with prose and poetry, including work presented in English translation. May Sinclair's introduction helps place its unusual sensibility. The book carries the restless energy of an artist exploring the boundaries between a private dream and a scene that can be drawn on paper.
