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.
