Published in conjunction with a major exhibition organized by The
Museum of Modern Art, New York, in collaboration with the Menil
Collection, Houston, and the Art Institute of Chicago, Magritte:
The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926–1938 focuses on the
breakthrough surrealist years of René Magritte, creator of some of
the 20th century’s most extraordinary images. Bringing together
nearly 80 paintings, periodicals and early commercial work, it
offers fresh insight into Magritte’s identity as a revolutionary
painter and surrealist artist. Beginning in 1926, when Magritte
first aimed to create paintings that would, in his words,
‘challenge the real world’, and concluding in 1938 – a
historically and biographically significant moment just before the
outbreak of World War II – the publication traces central
strategies and themes from this seminal period, particularly those
of diplacement, transformation, metamorphosis, the ‘misnaming’
of objects, and the representation of visions seen in half-waking
states. The publication also presents new conservation research on
Magritte’s materials and techniques, and an illustrated
chronology outlining significant moments in the artist’s life
during this significant period, including travel, connections with
other surrealist artists and writers, contributions to journals,
and important exhibitions and reviews.
