Though full of subconscious upwellings and startling conjunctions of seemingly unrelated objects, Rene Magrittes paintings are not dreamscapes, according to French art critic Meuris. With every painting, the Belgian surrealist, whose work is governed by thought, challenges his viewers intellect and assumptions about reality. Observes Meuris in Magrittian fashion: Magritte is not a painter, while yet being a great painter. While the paradox of the paintings of burning tubas remains largely unsolved, other images are successfully unraveled and the heavy French intellectual baggage one might expect is avoided. Meuris also looks at Magrittes little-known photographs, short films, sculptures and surreal objects in this illuminating, delightfully illustrated volume that reaffirms the artists stature as it traces the fine line he toes between reality and illusion.
I dont believe in the unconscious, except when we are asleep. Magritte.
