Rene Magritte (1898-1967) is the most famous Belgian artist of the
twentieth century and a celebrated representative of the Surrealist
movement. Much has been written about his practices, artistic
community, and significance within the history of modernism, but
little has been documented regarding his process. Though he was
reluctant to discuss his techniques and materials, practical
concerns over media and cost shaped his output and legacy. This
volume examines fifty oil paintings made by Magritte between 1921
and 1967, now held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This technical study of his works using noninvasive scientific
imaging and chemical analysis reveals the artist's painting
materials, his habit of overpainting previous compositions, and the
origins and mechanisms of surface and pigment degradation. Of
interest to conservators, scientists, curators, and enthusiasts of
twentieth-century art, this book expands our understanding of
Magritte the artist and provides new and useful findings that will
inform strategies for the future care of his works.
