AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rene Magritte (1898-1967) (d´apres) - hand signed in pencil by Mr. Charly Herscovici, President of the MAGRITTE Foundation
Lithograph on BFK Rives vellum.
Frame not included
Numbered / 300 copies, signed in print
Lithography made under the control of the Succession Magritte, authenticated by the blind seal Succession, signed on the stone bottom left and hand signed in pencil by Mr. Charly Herscovici, President of the MAGRITTE Foundation (with initial on the same side of the number)
Dimensions: 44x30 cm.
The surrealist masterpieces of René Magritte, characterized by a meticulous realism used to challenge our perception of everyday objects, share a profound conceptual thread with the work of artists like Salvador Dalí and, centuries later, Banksy. While Magritte and Dalí both anchored themselves in Surrealism, Magritte rejected Dalí’s chaotic, dream-like landscapes of the subconscious mind in favor of quiet, intellectual paradoxes and visual riddles. This witty, thought-provoking approach heavily echoes in the contemporary street art of Banksy, who inherits Magritte’s signature irony by juxtaposing ordinary symbols in unexpected ways to deliver sharp social critiques, proving that altering reality is one of art's most powerful tools.
