Summary:
The ongoing relevance of Belgian painter René Magritte may lie in the semiotic character of his work and its ability to create chasms between the world, its surfaces and the signs we use to occupy it. Magritte's paintings offer a space for the viewer to contemplate the emptiness of signs and to locate that emptiness in a world we recognize--indeed, the artist relies on(...)

Summary:
The ongoing relevance of Belgian painter René Magritte may lie in the semiotic character of his work and its ability to create chasms between the world, its surfaces and the signs we use to occupy it. Magritte's paintings offer a space for the viewer to contemplate the emptiness of signs and to locate that emptiness in a world we recognize--indeed, the artist relies on the props of normalcy in order to upend, invert and collapse them into the terra incognita where life leaves off and art begins. This book presents a new definitive Magritte monograph, replacing David Sylvester's volume of the early 1990s. Featuring more than 300 works, it contains much unpublished material and includes chapters covering Magritte's photography, drawings and influence on German and American contemporary art.

Documenting small time adventures and excursions around his house, bike rides through Europe, the vast and unyielding concrete miles of Shanghai and the old paint splattered floor in London where he sometimes sleeps, Nigel Peake's hand-drawn maps blend a healthy mix of order, the fantastical and reality. Both colourful and monotone and always highly detailed, these cartographic excursions are a fine lesson in liberation from objective rigidity.
