Product Description
Product Description
Through shock and paradox, Rene Magritte sets out to reveal the mysterious nature of thought. His paintings, with their unexpected juxtaposition of objects, are a deliberate defiance of common sense. In this classic study, Suzi Gablik explains how Magritte was never involved in the experimental techniques and stylistic innovations of the other Surrealists, and how, as a result, his work has proved to hold more options for the future. 228 illus., 19 in color.

Amazing work. An achievement away from Renee,
This review is from: World Of Art Series Magritte (Paperback)
This encompasses not on Magritte's work, life, and philosophy, this book flexes an illusive, easily comprehendible style that makes the sections upon Wittgensteinian philosophy enjoyible to read and easy to digest. Highly, highly recommended.

This book illustrates the reader through Magritte's life while giving background to the works. I read this book for fun and subsequently decided to study Magritte in school. It discusses surrealism as a whole as well as the historical context of Magritte's work. This book got me hooked on Magritte!!
