About This Item
Greenwich, CT: New York Graphic Society, 1973. First Edition, 4th Printing . Soft cover. Very Good/None as Issued. Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated soft cover/VG w/light edge wear & faint humidity staining to back. PO name to fEP. An intimate portrait of the great Belgian painter Rene Francois Ghislain Magritte (1898-1960) and his works. Cited frequently as the embodiment of Surrealism, Magritte is known for startling and/or amusing juxtaposition of the ordinary, the strange images with disquieting realism appearing in incongruous settings in deliberate defiance of common sense. Suzi Gablik classifies Magritte's works thematically and establishes positional values within sequences. This methodology reveal processes of systematic problem solving underlying the paintings. Also considered is Magritte's work in the historical context of Surrealism, tension between reality and illusion, and presage of Pop Art. Fine copy despite soiling to back cover.
