About the work: Magritte’s most famous paintings confront us with puzzling mysteries and often seem to refer to something secret that we naturally want to discover. Written by art historian and critic Pierre Sterckx, this magnificent volume, printed on textured cotton paper, opens a door into the delightful, paradoxical, enigmatic world of a remarkable artist.
About the author: Pierre Sterckx, an art historian and critic, is a lecturer at L'Ecole superieure des beaux-arts in Paris. He's a contributor to Beaux-Arts, Art Press and Telerama and in 1996 won the CNRS grand prize for his script for the cd-rom Le Mystere Magritte. less
