Sur la Visage, XI - Life Size Posters
999 Rs
The most celebrated Belgian artist of the twentieth century, Rene Magritte has achieved great popular acclaim for his idiosyncratic approach to Surrealism. His imagery has influenced pop, minimalist and conceptual art.
The illustrative quality of Magritte's pictures often results in a powerful paradox: images that are witty and beautiful in their clarity and simplicity, but which also provoke unsettling thoughts. They seem to declare that they hide no mystery, and yet they are also marvellously strange.

About Sur la Visage, XI
"Sur la Visage, XI" by the surrealist Rene Magritte, one of his last colour lithograph series, printed shortly after his death in 1967, presents a mysterious arrangement of images pulled from Magritte’s visual vocabulary. A bifurcated backdrop, indicating a desert but also a forest, confuses our sense of place. A pair of classic Magrite apples, given masks, are suggestive of two subjects and a tree, exposing its contents, recalls a cabinet of curiosities. The incongruous messages delivered in this work are testaments to Magritte’s larger investment in exploring the relationship between signified and signifier, message and code.About the Life Size Posters
