Although Paul Delvaux (born 1897) is an artist of international
standing, his work is relatively little known in the Anglo-Saxon
world. This book, the first on the artist written in English,
places Delvaux's work in the tradition of European figurative
painting, as well as in the more immediate context of
twentieth-century Surrealism, exploring the relationship between
them as they came together in the artist's works from the
1930s.David Scott identifies Delvaux's most characteristic
contribution to twentieth-century art as that of problematizing
academic history painting by "surrealizing" it. He concentrates on
recurrent themes in Delvaux's art, notably his continuing, indeed
unremitting, focus on the nude, and on the question of the
"legibility" of the works, given the contradictory pictorial codes
- academic and Surrealist - that Delvaux adopts in them.
