The Search For The Absolute (La Recherche De L'Absolu) – René Magritte Painting – Surrealist Art Painting - Art Prints
100 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 The Search For The Absolute (La Recherche De L'Absolu) – René Magritte Painting – Surrealist Art Painting
An artist of delicate, refined style, always searching for the perfect image, Magritte was presumably unhappy with the original composition, and decided to make improvements, a decision that may have been influenced by the fact that the other horizontal version sold during the first showing in 1941, while the night-time version remained unsold. Re-painting the entire surface of the canvas, Magritte largely retained the original composition; the changes are mainly visible in the intricate lines of the branches, where he substituted the thicker and more uniform brush strokes of the earlier version for a subtler, more lace-like execution. Furthermore, the original flat horizon line was replaced with a more dynamic background, introducing the image of mountains which would reach its more dramatic incarnation in Magritte’s series of Le Domaine d’Arnheim paintings.About the Art Prints
