Reviews
Magritte balanced irony and conviction, philosophy and fantasy to illuminate the gaps between what is seen and what is known. The selected works on display reveal Magritte as an artist acutely attuned to the paradoxes at work within reality and an enduring champion of the role of mystery in life and art., Magritte's power rests in his unpretentiousness. Instead of saying "I see things that you don't," he says, "You've probably seen this, too, but maybe you haven't noticed that you've seen it., [The paintings] reawaken age-old questions about what the senses apprehend, what awareness and reflection contribute, and how we know., The pleasures of humor, of mystery, of layers of semblance and concealment still operate in these works., ... a grand success on its own terms: a well chosen, carefully researched, beautifully designed reconsideration of an artist we thought we knew., His best late paintings ... are like philosophical questions clearly posed -- but always by an unreliable narrator. They are Zen koans. Riddles you can't crack., Magritte s power rests in his unpretentiousness. Instead of saying I see things that you don t, he says, You ve probably seen this, too, but maybe you haven t noticed that you ve seen it., Magritte's artful paradoxes, where they do not over-invest in mystery, bring concreteness, a slow pace and friction back to our scrutiny of depiction. They reawaken, as he implied by calling himself a philosophical painter, age-old questions about what the senses apprehend, what awareness and reflection contribute, and how we know., Instead of seeing an old, familiar friend, whose best-known motifs (pipes that aren t pipes, bowler hats and so on) have leaked into every aspect of popular culture, we are confronted with a man who seems to be undergoing a breakdown., Instead of seeing an old, familiar friend, whose best-known motifs (pipes that aren't pipes, bowler hats and so on) have leaked into every aspect of popular culture, we are confronted with a man who seems to be undergoing a breakdown.

Synopsis
Magritte's extraordinary late paintings When René Magritte reached his 40s, something unexpected happened. The painter, who had honed an iconic Surrealist style between 1926 and 1938, suddenly started making paintings that looked almost nothing like his earlier work. First he adopted an Impressionist aesthetic, borrowing the sweet, hazy palette of Pierre-Auguste Renoir which he described as sunlit Surrealism. Then his style shifted again, incorporating popular imagery, the brash colors of Fauvism and the gestural brushwork of Expressionism. And then Magritte returned to his classic style as if nothing had happened. René Magritte: The Fifth Season looks at the art Magritte made during and after the stylistic crises of the 1940s, revealing his shifting attitudes toward painting. Subjects explored in this volume include the artist s Renoir period; the période vache , with its Fauvist- and Expressionist-style paintings that are little known to American audiences; the hypertrophy of objects paintings, a series that plays with the scale of familiar objects; and the enigmatic Dominion of Light suite, paintings that suggest the simultaneous experience of day and night. Featuring full-color plates of approximately 50 oil paintings, and a dozen of the artist s gouaches, René Magritte: The Fifth Season offers a new understanding of Magritte s special position in the history of 20th-century art. In a career of almost half a century, Belgian Surrealist René Magritte (1898 1967) probed the distance between object, language and image. Even as he playfully explored new styles, his painting practice remained consistent in its cautionary message not to equate the observable world with reality in all its fullness., René Magritte (1898-1967) was one of the most intriguing painters associated with Surrealism, but he did not fully find his voice until after breaking ties with the movement. This book, the first to look exclusively at Magritte's late career, examines his most important bodies of work from the 1940s through the 1960s, and shows how they marked a fundamental shift in painting from Modernism to our own time. Featuring more than sixty artworks, René Magritte: The Fifth Season explores how Magritte balanced irony and conviction, philosophy and fantasy, to illuminate the gaps between what we see and what we know. Subjects explored in this volume include the artist's Renoir period; the période vache, with its Fauvist- and Expressionist-style paintings that are little known to American audiences; the 'hypertrophy of objects' paintings, a series that plays with the scale of familiar objects; and the enigmatic Dominion of Light suite, paintings that suggest the simultaneous experience of day and night. Together, the works reveal Magritte as an artist acutely attuned to the paradoxes at work within reality, and an enduring champion of the role of mystery in life and art., Magritte's extraordinary late paintings When Ren Magritte reached his 40s, something unexpected happened.
