Available for the first time in an English translation; this selection of Reneacute; Magrittersquo;s writings gives non-Francophone readers the chance to encounter the many incarnations of the renowned Belgian paintermdash;the artist; the man; the aspiring noirist; the fire-breathing theoristmdash;in his own words. Through whimsical personal letters; biting apologia; appreciations of fellow artists; pugnacious interviews; farcical film scripts; prose poems; manifestos; and much more; a new Magritte emerges: part Surrealist; part literalist; part celebrity; part rascal.While this book is sure to appeal to admirers of Magrittersquo;s art and those who are curious about his personal life; there is also much to delight readers interested in the history and theory of art; philosophy and politics; as well as lovers of creativity and the inner workings of a probing; inquisitive mind unrestricted by genre; medium; or fashion.
