About This Item

London: Laurence King Publishing, 2016. New. The unread book is tight with solid hinges, good tips, and clean heavy cardboard boards. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings, not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Black and white photographs. Specially commissioned illustrations by Iker Spozio. No dust jacket, as issued. 80 pages. Pages. 6¾ x 9" tall.

Belgian artist René Magritte's biography is a key element of his art. His life is infused with bizarre moments: a surreal journey oscillating between fact and fiction that he always conducted as the straight-faced bowler-hatted man.

The events of Magritte's childhood played an important part in creating the surrealist, but it was his popular culture borrowings from crime fiction, advertising and postcards that made his work instantly recognizable.

The often unreliable nature of Magritte's accounts of his own life have transformed his public image into a kind of fictional character rather than a 'real person.' He would shape his life story to be a surreal work of art.
