Description

René Magritte: The Fifth Season offers a new understanding of the Belgian Surrealist's special position in 20th-century art. Between 1940 and 1967, Magritte explored various styles, including Impressionism, Fauvism, and Expressionism, before returning to his classic style. This volume examines Magritte's work during these stylistic crises, revealing his shifting attitudes toward painting. It covers the artist's Renoir period, the periode vache series, the "hypertrophy of objects" paintings, and the enigmatic Dominion of Light suite, featuring full-color plates of approximately 50 oil paintings and a dozen gouaches. By exploring Magritte's diverse artistic periods, this book provides insight into his innovative approach to painting and his exploration of the distance between object, language, and image.
