Magritte

Ren√ © Magritte (1898-1967), the master of Surrealism, invites you into a realm where men float in the sky wearing bowler hats. In his captivating paintings, Magritte weaves a tapestry of object and image, challenging reality and representation.

With precise, mimetic techniques, he creates scenes defying scale, logic, and science - a comb the size of a wardrobe, rocks floating in the sky, clouds drifting through an open door. This introductory book explores Magritte's vast repertoire of visual humor, paradox, and surprise. His works, often witty and unsettling, prompt us to look beyond the visible, inviting contemplation of what is hidden behind what we see.
