2019-05-07 Press-Release Magritte-EN-V1.Indd DELVAUX PARTNERS WITH THE MAGRITTE FOUNDATION Delvaux announces an exclusive partnership with the Magritte Foundation, allowing the two parties to further deepen their unique relationship and jointly collaborate on incorporating René Magritte’s oeuvre in la Maison’s luxury leather goods design. This follows on from an initial collaboration between Delvaux and the Magritte Foundation in 2015, as well as partnerships for major Magritte museum retrospectives at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the SFMOMA in San Francisco. This new and unique alliance has resulted in an exceptional ‘Magritte Collection’, a whimsical project featuring the Belgian artist’s unique oeuvre transposed into Delvaux luxury leather goods designs. Infused with surrealism and unexpected playful touches, the collection pays homage to Magritte’s essence and his many emblematic paintings such as Man in a Bowler Hat, The Promise, The Kiss and Golconda. Celebrating Belgitude and reaffirming their authentic commitment to arts and culture, Delvaux and Fondation Magritte will jointly present a first-of-its-kind exhibition of rare and inedited artworks by René Magritte. The exhibition will take place from 14th to 24th May, in Delvaux’s newly inaugurated American flagship on Fifth Avenue, during the Modern and Contemporary art auctions week in Manhattan. ABOUT DELVAUX Founded in Brussels in 1829, Delvaux is the oldest fine leather luxury goods house in the world and has been active without interruption since its beginnings. Creator of more than 3000 designs, Delvaux filed the first ever handbag patent in 1908, thus becoming inventor of the modern handbag. Since its creation, la Maison has been both avant-garde and true to the finest traditions of craftsmanship while conveying the grandeur, heritage and symbols of Belgian culture. Official purveyor to the Royal Court of Belgium since 1883, Delvaux has remained steadfast in its devotion to sharing and celebrating Belgian cultural references and values. “The cut-glass bath” 1946 “The treachery of images” 1952 ABOUT THE MAGRITTE FOUNDATION The Magritte Foundation was established in Brussels in 1998 by Charly Herscovici and partners as a non-profit organisation safeguarding the oeuvre of René Magritte.

According to a legend, year-old Magritte was present when her body was retrieved from the water, but recent research has discredited this story, which may have originated with the family nurse. Error rating book. Elsewhere, Magritte challenges the difficulty of artwork to convey meaning with a recurring motif of an easel, as in his The Human Condition series , or The Promenades of Euclid , wherein the spires of a castle are "painted" upon the ordinary streets which the canvas overlooks. Lorser Feitelson - The official music video of Markus Schulz 's "Koolhaus" under his Dakota guise was inspired from Magritte's works. Quite heavy subject matter for junior fiction but an interesting way to approach death and life beyond. Another museum is located at Rue Esseghem in Brussels in Magritte's former home, where he lived with his wife from to His experience with forgeries also allowed him to create false bank notes during the German occupation of Belgium in World War II, helping him to survive the lean economic times. And its reasonably clear, early on, where all this will lead us. I loved the story and how it was told.
