Description

René Magritte's artistic vision is presented in 400 images, showcasing both his most iconic works and lesser-known pieces from his extensive oeuvre. This comprehensive collection spans seven chapters, guiding the reader through Magritte's development as an artist from the 1920s to the 1960s. The book begins by exploring Magritte's early abstract paintings, followed by his search for solace in his Sunlit Period and his subsequent work during the brittle période vache. Each chapter is accompanied by a summary of the artistic context and Magritte's place within it, providing a nuanced understanding of his contributions to the contemporary art scene. The book features a unique selection of historical photographs alongside the reproductions of Magritte's work, making it an engaging and informative resource for art enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
