Magritte in 400 images offers a selection of the most iconic paintings from the master Surrealist, Rene Magritte, along with a multitude of perhaps less well-known, but no less exciting jewels from his expansive oeuvre. The novel choice of works will surprise and delight the reader as they continue to uncover ever more facets of the celebrated painter, from his gouaches to his painted bottles and much more. Spanning seven chapters, this book brings together the myriad aspects of Magritte' s pictorial vision. Beginning with his first forays into abstract painting in the 1920s, navigating his search for solace in his Sunlit Period, as well as his brittle periode vache and moving on to his Surrealist masterpieces of the 1950s and 1960s, it gently guides the reader through Magritte' s world. Each chapter opens with a summary of the artistic stakes at play during that period and Magritte' s place in them, immersing the reader in the contemporary artistic milieu. The 400 reproductions of Magritte' s work are complemented by a unique selection of historical photographs. Alive with images and information, this compact gem is a must-have for all art enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
