Product Description
From Library Journal
Handsome and serious yet accessible, this book catalogs an extensive exhibition held at the Royal Museum Brussels this year. It covers the full spectrum of Magritte's work, from the omnipresent, mass-reproduced images to the more difficult and lesser-known photography and commercial poster work he did. The shortish essays, by Belgian curators and other acknowledged authorities (including David Sylvester and Sarah Whitfield), are clear; a personal contribution by the artist's friend Harry Torczyner is helpful in understanding Magritte the man. All in all, this is a very good book with very good illustrations on an enormously popular artist. For general collections; specialized collections will find it a useful complement to Sylvester's five-volume catalogue raisonne (Sotheby, 1992- 97).?Jack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Lib.
