From men in bowler hats, floating in the sky, to a painting of a pipe above the caption “this is not a pipe”, Ren\u00e9 Magritte (1898\u20131967)<\/span> created an echo chamber of object and image, name and thing, reality and representation<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Like other Surrealist works, Magritte\u2019s paintings combine a precise, mimetic technique <\/span>with abnormal, alienating configurations<\/span> which defy the laws of scale, logic, and science: a comb the size of a wardrobe, rocks that float in the sky, clouds that drift through an open door. The result is a direct yet disorientating realm, often witty, often unsettling, and always prompting us to look beyond the visible, to \u201cwhat is hidden by what we see.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

This introductory book explores Magritte’s vast repertoire of visual humor, paradox, and surprise <\/span>which to this day makes us look and look again, not only at the painting, but at our sense of self and the world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
