Description

René Magritte's life was a work of art in itself. His childhood and experiences had a profound impact on his surrealist style, which blended fact and fiction to create something uniquely bizarre. This biography explores the artist's life, from his early influences to his later successes, revealing the often unreliable nature of his accounts. Beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned artwork, this book brings Magritte's story into vivid focus. It delves into his popular culture borrowings, such as crime fiction and advertising, which helped make his work instantly recognisable. With a mix of photographs and illustrations, this biography offers an intimate look at the artist's life and work. Hardcover, 80 pages.
