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 The Reading Forbidden (la lecture defendue)

"The reading forbidden (la lecture defendue)" painted by Rene Magritte exemplifies his way of combining various pictorial objects as in a collage in order to reveal correlations between them and to get closer to the real reason for their existence. Although text and pictorial objects refer to actual objects, they have no real function, just like the stairs in the right half of the image leading up to an impenetrable wall. The word “sirène” is written in chalk on the wooden floor. A pointed finger, above which hovers a small bell, simultaneously conceals and symbolizes the letter “i”. Yet this could possibly refer to the woman’s name “Irène”.
