The works of Rene Magritte (1898 - 1967) and the ideas that
underlie them are a special case both in the history of modern art
and in surrealist painting. In the search for the "mystery" in
which things and organisms are enveloped, Magritte created pictures
which, taking everyday reality as their starting point, were to
follow a different logic from that to which we are accustomed.
Magritte depicts the world of reality in such unsecretive
superficiality that the beholder of his pictures is forced to
reflect that the mystery of it is not evoked by some sentimental
transfiguration, but rather by the logic of his thoughts and
associations. Magritte thus invented an inimitable pictorial
language which he uses to question our usual comprehension of
pictures. In this book Jacques Meuris traces Magritte's artistic
development from its beginnings until the end of his life, and in
doing so underlines the originality of this great Belgian
Surrealist.
