AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
You're bidding on three books on René Magritte.
René Magritte was a Belgian artist and one of the most enduringly influential members of the Surrealist movement. Best known for his illusionistic images that challenged the viewer’s preconceptions of reality, Magritte’s Surrealist paintings are clever, witty, and ironic—his most popular being The Treachery of Images (This is Not a Pipe) (1929). “At least it hides the face partly well, so you have the apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden, the face of the person,” he said of his self-portrait The Son of Man (1964). “It's something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.”
