The enigmatic images of the great Surrealist Rene Magritte (1898-1967) are so powerful that they seem to define a completely new reality, where everyday objects and familiar situations are transformed in unexpected ways. Magritte's visual ideas are astounding in their variety and originality, and creative people ranging from philosophers to advertising executives have ransacked his art for inspiration. His impact on fine art and artists has been even more dramatic.
The works of René Magritte and the ideas that underlie them are a special case both in the history of modern art and in surrealist painting. In the search for the mystery in which things are enveloped, Magritte created pictures which, taking everyday reality as their starting point, were to follow a different logic.
It was through a series of examples that on that occasion Magritte outlined the genesis of his art, endeavoring to define the thirteen years of surrealist painting. Although the visible manifestations of the World's Mystery he continuously offers to us, he has anyhow refused to explain his works. This conference was one of the rare occasions in which the artist opened up to the public, clarifying his beginnings and the evolution of his painting until 1938, the period now recognized as the most representative of his entire career. The book includes Magritte's masterpieces before and after this date, when its diffusion and notoriety became international. It contains his most famous paintings but also documents, book catalogs, musical partitions and many photographs by Rene Magritte himself and his fellow artists, along with screenshots of his films so to give a wide overview on his entire artistic experience.
