"The first major biography for our time of René Magritte, from the celebrated biographer of Braque and Cézanne. In this stimulating life of René Magritte (1898-1967), Alex Danchev makes a case for the artist as the single most significant purveyor of images to the modern world. His surreal sensibility, his deadpan melodrama, and his fine-tuned outrageousness have all become inescapably part of our times through legendary works such as The Treachery of Images (we know it as Ceci n'est pas une pipe), and through his iterations of the man in a bowler hat, raining down in multiples from the sky, or with an apple where his face should be. These pathbreaking subversions all came from a middle-class Belgian gent, who kept a modest house in a Brussels suburb; who led a small, brilliant band of Belgian surrealists, and famously clashed with André Breton; whose first one-man show, in the style he famously dubbed "Vache" ("Cow"), sold absolutely nothing. In 1965 a major retrospective traveling throughout the United States gave birth to his international reputation. Using thirty-two pages of color inserts and black-and-white illustrations throughout the text, Danchev explores the path of this highly unconventional artist who posed profound questions about the relationship between image and reality and the very nature of authenticity. Danchev delves into a deep examination of Magritte's artistic development, surveys his intimate friendships, and plumbs the mystery of an iconoclast whose influence can be seen in everyone from Jasper Johns to Beyoncé"--

En 1922, trois jeunes hommes créent la revue d’avant-garde 7 Arts destinée à promouvoir les arts, et plus encore, leur synthèse au travers de l’architecture et du cinéma, qui les réunit tous. Pierre Bourgeois, poète, son frère Victor, architecte et Pierre-Louis Flouquet, peintre, sont bientôt rejoints par Georges Monier, compositeur, et Karel Maes, peintre, graveur et créateur de meubles. « Les cinq » fédèrent aussitôt l’avant-garde belge et inscrivent leur revue au coeur même de l’avant-garde européenne. Ainsi, tout au long de ses six années de parution, vont se côtoyer dans les pages de la revue les principaux protagonistes de la scène artistique belge et internationale : De Stijl, le Bauhaus, les puristes, les constructivistes, les futuristes et tant d’autres défenseurs de l’abstraction géométrique qu’ils nommeront la Plastique pure. Leur ambition : faire pénétrer les arts dans toutes les dimensions de la vie urbaine moderne et, ce faisant, parvenir à la transformer. Du 6 mars au 7 juin 2020, le CIVA consacre une exposition rétrospective à la revue 7 Arts dont cet ouvrage présente l’impressionnante aventure.
