Magritte's imagination and poetic vision created illuminating paradoxes in paint that eventually influenced Pop Art. This biography, published in conjunction with the Magritte catalogue raisonne, of which Sylvester is editor, contains material "outside the scope of that publication." It details Magritte's early world in Belgium; his lifelong marriage; the artistic influences, especially de Chirico; his dealers and colleagues; and the impact of World War II in a well-written narrative developed with the support of the Menil Foundation. There are 470 reproductions here, with over 340 in beautiful color. An excellent choice for libraries collecting widely in modern art.-Ellen Bates, New YorkCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.Product detailsPublisher : The Menil Foundation and Abrams; First Edition (January 1, 1992)Language : EnglishHardcover : 352 pagesISBN-10 : 0810936267ISBN-13 : 978-0810936263Item Weight : 5.2 poundsDimensions : 9.88 x 1.81 x 14.41 inches
