Description and Table of Contents

Description

Focusing on Rene Magritte, this is one of an illustrated series which provides accounts of the lives of individual artists, professional and personal anecdotes, and concise definitions of cultural and social movements that shaped their work. Magritte was a master of optical illusion whose influence on pop culture is evident in advertising, corporate logos, consumer products and design. The book examines his deceptive images of shrouded lovers kissing, trains roaring out of fireplaces, bowler-hatted men floating through the air, and pipes that might not be pipes.
