Description

Vintage softcover, first edition, 1972 Excellent condition 39 color plates RENE MAGRITTE, a master of fantastic art, was born in Lessines, Belgium in 1898, and despite the age in which he lived —— the growth of mass media and mass communication — preferred to live his life in a small suburb of Brussels, painting what he liked to paint and caring little for the theories of his Surrealist contemporaries. The paintings illustrated in this book need no words — what Magritte did more than anything else was to paint meticulously familiar, even personal objects, in unfamiliar, even startling settings — out of context at first sight in both time and place. If beauty lies in the eye of the beholder then so too does understanding — in the interpretation of Magritte’s work the eye, the mind and the heart all compete without a fixed formula or equation but with equal claims.
