Magritte Written by Suzi Gablik

Magritte Written by Suzi Gablik.

Through shock and paradox, Rene Magritte set out to reveal the mysterious nature of thought. His paintings, with their unexpected juxtaposition of objects, are a deliberate defiance of common sense.

In her classic study, Suzi Gablik evaluates Magritte's major themes by classifying his work in related groups of images, each paingting having a positional value in a sequence, in addition to its intrinsic value.

She shows how Magritte was never involved in the experimental techniques and stylistic innovations of the other Surrealists, and how, as a result, his work has proved to hold more options for the future.
