In this beautiful monograph, a collection of revelatory essays
focuses on five common images in Rene Magritte's work-fire,
shadows, curtains, words, and the fragmented body. Featuring
vibrant reproductions of more than 100 works, this book helps
readers understand how the artist employed these images in ways
both deceptive and realistic. The book explores how he distorted
accepted interpretations of classic symbols; why he so often used
words as elements of his paintings; and how he applied aspects of
the theater in his works. As Magritte's paintings have become
subsumed by the very commercialism they sought to ridicule, this
volume takes a fresh look at an artist whose familiarity masks an
incredible gift for deception and rapier-like intellect.
