En chapeau melon devant un portrait de sa femme peint quatre décennies plus tôt, il évoque un de ses personnages.
Génie iconoclaste, René Magritte s'est longtemps appliqué à passer pour un mystificateur. Mais, à la longue, ses provocations n'ont plus servi à rien: en 1965, le MoMA de New York lui consacre une rétrospective. Le voilà, à 67 ans, unanimement reconnu comme le plus grand peintre surréaliste belge, et comme un des artistes les plus importants de son siècle.
80 x 60 cm. Tirage postérieur sur papier baryté.
Encadrement bois noir et passepartout tournant.
Edition 1/1.
Dressed in a derby hat in front of the portrait of his wife, painted four decades earlier, he evokes one of his own characters. An iconoclastic genius, René Magritte spent the longest time trying to be pass as an imposter.
But in the long run, his provocations came to nothing: in 1965, New York's
MoMA featured a retrospective of his paintings. Now here he is, at 67, unanimously recognized as the greatest of the Belgian surrealist painters, and one of the most important artists of the century.
80 x 60 cm. Printed later on fiberbased paper.
Black wooden frame, and mat.
