| Summary: | Studies the work of the Belgian artist René Magritte, on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition Magritte: le Maître du Mystère< /i> on show at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris (11 Feb.-9 June 2003). The author outlines the art environment in Paris in the 1920s, examines the influence of Expressionism, and work by de Chirico and Max Ernst on Magritte's early work, and claims that Magritte's reference point is reality rather than dream. He describes Magritte's interpretation and representation of reality, considers his personality and lifestyle, and examines his style. He describes his best-known works, and concludes by imagining Magritte s personality. |
