MAGRITTE
"An important book for anyone interested in Magritte or in the wider issues involved in twentieth-century painting . . . highly intelligent, carefully researched, through-provoking . . . will surely be a standard work." —The Times Literary Supplement
"Gablik is always interesting, lucid and, best of all, mad about Magritte." —Tom Stoppard, The Sunday Times ISBN 0-500-20199-4 · 228 illustrations |

Through
shock and paradox, Rene Magritte sets out to reveal the mysterious
nature of thought. His paintings, with their unexpected juxtaposition
of objects, are a deliberate defiance of common sense. In this classic
study, Suzi Gablik explains 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.
