Description: Ren Magritte by Patricia Allmer An illuminating reappraisal of Belgian surrealist artist Rene Magritte. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An illuminating reappraisal of Belgian surrealist artist Rene Magritte.The Belgian surrealist artist Ren Magritte redefined the way we think about art. Famous for his men in bowler hats, Magrittes witty and provocative work inspired generations of later artists, from Andy Warhol to Jasper Johns. In this illuminating new biography, Patricia Allmer radically repositions Magrittes work in relation to its historical and cultural circumstances. Allmer explores the significant influence of events and experiences in Magrittes early childhood and youth, recorded in his letters and essays: his memories of visiting fairs and circuses; of magical shows and performances; of the cinema; and in particular his first encounter with his future partner, Georgette, on a carousel. Allmers analyses of these events and their influence on both well-known and less familiar images give new insights into Magrittes art. The book will appeal to those who wish to know more about Magrittes life and work, as well as the wide audience for Surrealism. Author Biography Patricia Allmer is a leading scholar of Surrealism and teaches Art History at the University of Edinburgh. Her books include René Magritte: Beyond Painting (2009) and Lee Miller: Photography, Surrealism, and Beyond (2016). Her curated exhibitions include Angels of Anarchy: Women Artists and Surrealism (2009) and Taking Shots: The Photography of William S. Burroughs (2014).
