From men in bowler hats, floating in the sky, to a painting of a
pipe above the caption ",this is not a pipe",, René Magritte
(1898–1967) created an echo chamber of object and image, name and
thing, reality and representation.Like other Surrealist works,
Magritte’s paintings combine a precise, mimetic techniquewith
abnormal, alienating configurations which defy the laws of scale,
logic, and science: a comb the size of a wardrobe, rocks that float
in the sky, clouds that drift through an open door. The result is a
direct yet disorientating realm, often witty, often unsettling, and
always prompting us to look beyond the visible, to “what is hidden
by what we see.”This introductory book explores Magritte's vast
repertoire of visual humor, paradox, and surprise which to this day
makes us look and look again, not only at the painting, but at our
sense of self and the world.The author Marcel Paquet (1947–2014)
obtained his doctorate in 1978 from the Free University of Brussels
with a thesis entitled La différence des penseés de Kant et de
Hegel dans la question de l’essence de l’art. He published a number
of books on such subjects as Paul Delvaux, Fernando Botero, and
Hans Bellmer.About the series Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art
