Surrealism in Belgium : The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Hardback Book

Surrealism in Belgium : The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie Hardback

Hardback

Description

From the start, the Belgian Surrealists--among them Rene Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Paul Nouge, E.L.T.

Mesens and Marcel Marien--distinguished themselves from their Parisian counterparts with their dry wit, brilliant conceptualism and knack for combining the fantastical and the everyday (e.g., Magritte's bowler-hatted men, or Marcel Marien's iconic single-lensed spectacle), and their disinclination to issue Breton-style manifestos. This revelatory volume celebrates the Surrealist movement in Belgium through a group of more than 250 paintings, drawings, photographs, prints and books by artists such as Rachel Baes, Paul Delvaux, Camille Goemans, Jane Graverol, Tom Gutt, Jacques Lacomblez, Rene Magritte, Marcel Marien, Jacques Matton, Edouard (E.L.T.) Mesens, Paul Nouge, Gilbert Senecaut, Louis Scutenaire, Max Servais, Armand Simon, Andre Stas Raoul Ubac, Louis Van de Spiegele, Rogier Van de Wouwer and Robert Willems.
