Siegfried Gohr(
Book
)
6 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 488 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This collection of key paintings, which accompanies a retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, is particularly notable because the paintings have been selected to show Magritte's influence on the art of the latter half of the twentieth century, especially Pop and Conceptual art. An essay by art historian Siegfried Gohr explores some of the major themes in Magritte's work, while more than sixty color plates tantalize the viewer."--Jacket

Monsieur René Magritte by
Adrian Maben(

)
16 editions published between 1978 and 2017 in 3 languages and held by 415 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The house where artist René Magritte lived and worked was left untouched by his widow after his death in 1967 and it tells much about the man who found inspiration in everyday surroundings. Childhood experiences and the suicide of Magritte's mother are recalled by the artist himself in archive footage and he explains how this tragic event later inspired themes in his paintings. The film focuses on the recurring influences of certain objects and places in Magritte's art, his experimentation with futurism and his attraction to the work of Chirico before discovering his own unique surrealist style."--Container

This is not a pipe by
Michel Foucault(
Book
)
33 editions published between 1973 and 2010 in 4 languages and held by 290 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This volume contains the author's classic essay on the complex relationship between language and image in Rene Magritte's iconic painting. What does it mean to write "This is not a pipe" across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? The painting is not a pipe, but rather an image of a pipe, which was Magritte's point. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction. The author's essay offers a view of a painter whose influence and popularity continue to grow unchecked

The essential René Magritte by
Todd Alden(

)
4 editions published between 1999 and 2007 in English and French and held by 216 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The Belgian Surrealist Rene Magritte is a master of optical illusion. His influence on pop culture is felt everywhere -- from advertising and corporate logos, to consumer products and design. Magritte's paintings are witty and easy to enter, but their eerie calm can be unnerving and leave us with a feeling of Let's get out of here! We end up wondering if what we're looking at is what we're supposed to be seeing." "Here's the story behind Magritte's: Shrouded lovers kissing. Trains roaring out of fireplaces. Bowler-hatted men floating through the air. Giant apples that fill entire rooms. Pipes that aren't pipes ... or are they? Book jacket."--Jacket

6 editions published in 2007 in 4 languages and held by 207 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This volume traces the influences on Belgian surrealist artist Magritte's work through 400 illustrations that show the full range of his creativity. Not only the well-known paintings but also lesser-known murals, photographs, sculptures, and commercial works are represented. Magritte became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images. His intended goal for his work was to challenge observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality and force viewers to become hypersensitive to their surroundings, creating paintings that show bizarre images depicted in a realistic manner
