Exil de peintre, an artists' book with 64 etchings and a text by Belgian artist Philippe Vandenberg.

During one year, Philippe Vandenberg (°1952, Ghent) worked intensely on this series of etchings, which were bound into a book, together with a simultaneously produced text La lettre au nègre  (Letter to the Nigger). Exil de peintre was a creation of Philipe Vandenberg, Henri Hemelsoet and Rein Ergo and was published in a limited edition of 33 copies.
Exil de peintre was presented on 11 December 2003 in Caemersklooster in Ghent. After the exhibition in the Caemersklooster Débris was published, a publication in which proofs and texts by Philippe Vandenberg from Exil de peintre were collected.
