Unknown Author

4.9/5 (19798 ratings)

Description:The first major biography of the pathbreaking, perpetually influential surrealist artist and iconoclast whose inspiration can be seen in everyone from Jasper Johns to Beyonc�--by the celebrated biographer of C�zanne and Braque In this thought-provoking life of Ren� Magritte (1898‒1967), Alex Danchev makes a compelling case for Magritte as the single most significant purveyor of images to the modern world. Magritte's surreal sensibility, deadpan melodrama, and fine-tuned outrageousness have become an inescapable part of our visual landscape, through such legendary works as The Treachery of Images (Ceci n'est pas une pipe), and his celebrated iterations of Man in a Bowler Hat.Danchev explores the path of this highly unconventional artist, from his middle-class Belgian beginnings to the years in which he led a small, brilliant band of surrealists (and famously clashed with Andr� Breton) to his first major retrospective, which traveled to the United States in 1965 and gave rise to his international reputation.Using thirty-two pages of color images and more than 160 black-and-white illustrations throughout the text, Danchev delves deeply into Magritte's artistic development and the profound questions he raised in his work about the very nature of authenticity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
