Sinopsis
Elegant and enlightening, affordable and compact, this introduction to the master of Surrealism helps unlock the mysteries behind Magritte's famous imagery.
Once derided as shocking and indecipherable, the work of Rene Magritte has now become part of the lingua franca of the Instagram age. Works such as The False Mirror, Time Transfixed, and The Treachery of Images are culturally familiar, but not widely understood. This accessible introduction to Magritte's life and career helps readers to decipher the ideas behind Dadaism and Surrealism, to understand these movements and how Surrealism's most famous practitioner also drew on Romanticism. A biographical essay traces Magritte's life and early career in Brussels; his move to Paris, where he met Dalí, Ernst, and Miró; his return to Brussels during the Great Depression where a change in philosophy would disrupt his ties to Surrealism; and his eventual worldwide success and acclaim. The entire span of Magritte's career is brought to brilliant life in chronologically arranged reproductions of works in their entirety as well as in detail. Readers will come away with a solid foundation for appreciating this enigmatic artist, as well as an understanding of the profound and continued impact of his work on artists and popular culture.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Throughout his career, Magritte subverted expectations about artists in the world by disguising himself as an unremarkable member of the bourgeoisie. While the public mined his work for symbolism and deep meaning, the truth is, that with Magritte, what you see is what you get. What readers will get with this gorgeous volume is a deeply engaging overview of Magritte's entire career, and an eloquent argument that his Surrealist masterpieces were simply an extension of the Romantic tradition. Chronologically arranged, this volume features full- page reproductions of thirty-five works, each paired with a concise text that highlights its significance in Magritte's catalog. In addition to greatest hits, such as Time Transfixed, 1938; The Treachery of Images, 1929; and The Lovers, 1928, the inclusion of several lesser-known works provides an overview of the range and character of Magritte's art. Readers will become acquainted with the main figures in the artist's life, including relatives, colleagues, rivals, and they will see how Magritte's relationships with collectors and dealers led to the production of particular works, as well as how his theories about painting evolved over the years. Across this compact but utterly satisfying book, Magritte's exquisite use of color, his grasp of collage and composition, and his superb gifts for invention and mood are luminously and thrillingly in evidence.
