Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Better than the Phaidon book , 96 pages full of brilliant prints, "The Treachery Of Images" CECI N'EST UNE PIPE and"The Pleasure Principle (Portrait Of Edward James) being my favourites.
My only (slight) criticism is that the prints were often not on the same page as the the relevant text.
I liked the idea that this book comes with covers back and front to act as a bookmark, very useful!

A Great Book For Anyone
15 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This 89 page book is great for, artists, art fanactics, or anyone interested in Magritte or Surrealist art. This book goes through Magritte's life as an artist. I think its a great deal because there is so much of his artwork included to go along with the text, and its all in color. I enjoyed the chronology at the end of the book and the photographs of Magritte with his family and other members of the Surrealist group.

ONE OF THE MASTERS OF SURREALISM
23 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
While surrealism is not everyone's cup of tea,RENE MAGRITTE is certainly one of it's most celebrated figure.What i like about that collection is that it's affordable, even if it can't have everything.You can not say you don't have your money's worth.MAGRITTE is basically a painter who thinks ,that's why his works is unique in a strange way.The visuals aspects of his sex oriented works are often quite funny.Rock fans will recognize the sleeve of JEFF BECK'S TRUTH a 1968 record who uses LA CHAMBRE D'ÉCOUTE(The green apple).Those BELGIAN artists MAGRITTE,DELVAUX and TANGUAY were really something else.

those apples look delicious
31 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
if asked to pick a favourite surrealist i would have to pick rené magritte, his images are so clean & refined. the apples, the bowlers hat, and the floating crowd, all signatures of magritte have become embedded in mainstream culture because of the beauty of his works. so far i haven't found a better source of magritte's artworks, this book is a must for your coffee table!
