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" - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Preface, by Philipp Demandt; Ut pictura philosophia: portrait of Magritte as a philosopher, by Didier Ottinger; La Ligne de vie I (1938 lecture), by Rene Magritte; Words, shadows, flames, curtains, fragments: Magritte and the founding myths of painting, by Didier Ottinger; From arbitrary signs to elective affinities: painting against the imaginary bounds of the imagination, by Klaus Speidel; Seeing is believing: Rene Magritte and the invention of art, by Jan Blanc; The painter-king, by Barbara Cassin; Magritte and his curtains, by Victor I.
