By the grace of Google, Kore Yoors found my recent post about him and his father, Jan Yoors, and contacted me. It was wonderful to catch up, and it seems like our parents will also be getting back in touch. It turns out that he’s just gone live with JanYoors.com — a website dedicated to Jan Yoors’ life and art that gives a great idea of his versatility as an artist. (If I’m not mistaken, this is Kore.) It’s hard to capture the vibrancy of the tapestries in a picture, though.

Jan Yoors’ photographs from his time with the Roma also fill a newly published book, The Heroic Present: Life Among the Gypsies.

So it looks like it might well be time for a resurgence of interest in his work, especially in his native Antwerp. Stay tuned.
