Rene Magritte: The Fifth Season

René Magritte, 2018

Overview

This volume examines the art René Magritte created in and after the stylistic shifts of his 1940s. After establishing an iconic Surrealist style, Magritte experimented with Impressionist, Fauvist, and Expressionist aesthetics before returning to his signature approach. The book delves into his "sunlit Surrealism," the little-known "période vache," and his explorations of object scale and simultaneous day/night imagery.
