A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'The first significant biography of
the artist' Michael Prodger, The Times' 'Best art books of 2021'
'Exemplary ... a scintillating read' Alastair Sooke, Daily
Telegraph 'For those who love Magritte and those who do not,
Danchev's biography will come as a revelation' Literary Review Rene
Magritte's surreal sensibility, deadpan melodrama, and fine-tuned
outrageousness have all become inescapably part of our times. But
these groundbreaking subversions all came from a middle-class
Belgian gent, who kept a modest house in a Brussels suburb and
whose first one-man show sold absolutely nothing. Through a deep
examination of Magritte's friendships and his artistic development,
Alex Danchev explores the path of an highly unconventional artist
who posed profound questions about the relationship between image
and reality, challenged the very nature of authenticity and whose
influence can be seen in the work of everyone from Jasper Johns to
Beyonce.
