The piece depicts a scene of nearly identical men dressed in dark overcoats and bowler hats, who seem to be drops of heavy rain (or to be floating like helium balloons, though there is no actual indication of motion), against a backdrop of buildings and blue sky. The men are spaced in rhombic grids facing the viewpoint and receding back in grid layers. "Magritte was fascinated by the seductiveness of images. Ordinarily, you see a picture of something and you believe in it, you are seduced by it; you take its honesty for granted. But Magritte knew that representations of things can lie. These images of men aren't men, just pictures of them, so they don't have to follow any rules. This painting is fun, but it also makes us aware of the falsity of representation."[1] One interpretation is that Magritte is demonstrating the line between individuality and group association, and how it is blurred. All of these men are dressed the same, have the same bodily features and are all floating/falling. This leaves us to look at the men as a group. Whereas if we look at each person, we can predict that they may be completely different to another figure. As was often the case with Magritte's works, the title Golconda was found by his poet friend Louis Scutenaire. Golkonda is a ruined city in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, near Hyderabad, which from the mid-14th century until the end of the 17th was the capital of two successive kingdoms; the fame it acquired through being the center of the region's legendary diamond industry was such that its name remains, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a synonym for 'mine of wealth'." Louis Scutenaire is chiefly remembered as a central figure in the Belgian Surrealist movement, along with René Magritte, Paul Nougé, Marcel Lecomte and his own wife Irène Hamoir. He studied law at the Free University of Brussels (now split into the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and was a criminal lawyer from 1931 to 1944. In 1926 he discovered surrealism and was a primary contributor to the Revue surréaliste. He was sympathetic to communism during the 1930s and 1940s but as the truth about Joseph Stalin's regime became more apparent, he grew disenchanted with it and became an anarchist. After the Second World War he became a civil servant in the Belgian Ministry of the Interior, a job he kept for the rest of his life. Scutenaire grew disillusioned with the increasing commercialisation of Surrealism after the Second World War, but this did not apparently impair his close friendship with the most famous Belgian surrealist René Magritte. Scutenaire and his wife would visit the Magritte home on Sundays, where Scutenaire would be invited to give titles to Magritte's recent paintings; 170 of the paintings still bear the titles that Scutenaire suggested. (He is also the model for the figure in Magritte's canvas Universal Gravitation.) Scutenaire's published works include a series of books entitled Mes Inscriptions, collections of gnomic and mischievous aphorisms, as well as one of the earliest and most entertaining monographs on Magritte. He was awarded in 1985 the Grand Prix spécial de l'Humour noir in recognition of his achievements as a writer with a lifelong distrust of authority and institution. Between 1926 and 1938 René Magritte (Belgian, 1898–1967) developed key strategies and techniques to defamiliarize the familiar—to make, in his words, “everyday objects shriek aloud.― During this period of intense innovation he was closely aligned with the Surrealist movement, and his work of these years constituted an important new approach to Surrealist art. This exhibition begins with paintings and collages Magritte created in Brussels in 1926 and 1927, in anticipation of and immediately following his solo exhibition at the Galerie Le Centaure—the exhibition that launched his career as Belgium’s leading, indeed only, Surrealist painter—and then follows him to Paris, where he lived from 1927 to 1930, to be closer to the movement’s center. It concludes in 1938, the year he delivered “La Ligne de vie― (“Lifeline―), an autobiographical lecture that provided an account of his career as a Surrealist. Like the other artists and poets associated with the Surrealist movement, Magritte sought to overthrow what he saw as the oppressive rationalism of bourgeois society. His art during these essential years is at times violent, frequently disturbing, and filled with discontinuities. He consistently interrogated conventions of language and visual representation, using methods that included the misnaming of objects, doubling and repetition, mirroring and concealment, and the depiction of visions seen in half-waking states—all of them devices that cast doubt on the nature of appearances, both in the paintings and in reality itself. The persistent tension Magritte maintained during these years between nature and artifice, truth and fiction, reality and surreality is one of the profound achievements of his art. Magritte’s first solo exhibition, held at the Galerie Le Centaure in Brussels in 1927, included 12 papiers collés, or collages. Such works were made of printed paper along with watercolor, pencil, and charcoal, juxtaposing mass-produced imagery with the handmade. Most of the printed paper is sheet music, cut from the score of a 1907 English operetta, The Girls of Gottenberg, by George Grossmith, Jr., and L. E. Berman. These early collages include what would become the artist’s signature motifs: bowler hats, theater curtains, mysterious landscapes, and bilboquets (a term that refers to a toy but in Magritte's work evokes many other objects). Among them Le Jockey perdu (The Lost Jockey) has a singular status: In September 1926 the poet Camille Goemans, Magritte’s friend (and later his dealer), compared the figure of the mounted jockey “hurtling recklessly into the void― to the artist himself. “I like a lot Le Jockey perdu in the world of bowling pins. [...] The papiers collés go back to outdated processes: music paper cut in the form of pins, fashion plates headless and without hands arranged on abstract surfaces.― – Armand Eggermont, Review of Exposition Magritte, Galerie Le Centaure, 1927, in Le Thyrse, May 8, 1927, p. 214 In 1924 André Breton, a poet and the leader of the Surrealist group, wrote that the movement was based in the “omnipotence of the dream.― This is a realm Magritte explored to deliberately mysterious effect in this dramatically lit scene. A motionless, bowler-hatted figure with closed eyes stands upon a beachlike platform strewn with puffy, oddly earthbound clouds. Behind him is another man, his back to us, apparently identically dressed. The pair appear oblivious to the disturbing and erotically suggestive form, half-human and half-fur, that intrudes at the lower right, a hybrid creature that is reminiscent of the commercial catalog illustrations that Magritte produced in 1926 and 1927 for the Brussels furrier La Maison Samuel. Paintings like L’Assassin menacé and Le Sens de la nuit mark the first appearance in his art of the bowler-hatted man, a figure Magritte would later adopt as a signature motif and alter ego. Painted for his first solo exhibition, in 1927, L’Assassin menacé is one of Magritte’s largest and most theatrical compositions. A prose poem composed the same year by the Belgian Surrealist Paul Nougé, possibly in collaboration with the painter, describes many elements in this sinister scene, among them “an almost naked woman, a corpse of rare perversity.― The vacantly staring figures and everyday objects, all rendered in Magritte’s flat, deadpan style, underscore what the Belgian abstract artist Pierre Flouquet characterized as the painting’s “banal crime.― Like many of the Surrealists, Magritte was an avid fan of the pre–World War I popular crime fiction series Fantômas; he borrowed the placement of the two detective figures flanking the doorframe from Le Mort qui tue (The Murderous Corpse), a film from the series first released in 1913.

  • Irène Hamoir Et Louis Scutenaire : Une Symbiose En Littérature Plutôt Qu’Une Imposture
    Etudes Francophones Vol. 29 Automne 2018 Dossier plurithématique Irène Hamoir et Louis Scutenaire : Une symbiose en littérature plutôt qu’une imposture Séverine Orban The College of Idaho Elle ? C’est Irène Hamoir ou Irine de son nom de plume. Elle naît en 1906 dans la banlieue bruxelloise et côtoie le milieu du cirque : ses oncles, The Noiset’s, sont des acrobates à deux ou quatre roues. Au terme d’études de secrétariat, puis de journalisme, elle rencontre Marc Eemans, son compagnon de route pour les trois années suivantes. C’est grâce à lui et à sa collaboration à la revue Distances qu’elle rencontre Jean Scutenaire — Lui — en 1928 chez Marcel Lecomte. Deux ans plus tard, Elle et Lui se marient. De 1931 à 1939, elle est fonctionnaire à la Cour permanente de justice de La Haye et de Genève. Après la guerre, elle entre à la rédaction du journal Le Soir, seule femme parmi un personnel de journalistes exclusivement masculin. Seule femme également — du moins seule femme active sur le plan artistique — au sein du groupe surréaliste de Bruxelles : elle écrit ; elle signe des tracts ; elle participe à de nombreuses revues par de petits textes poétiques, des articles sur des peintres ou poètes du temps, des proses, etc. Elle, c’est aussi la « voix » du groupe surréaliste : on aime entendre sa voix de « stentor », comme le dit Magritte, l’ami du couple depuis les années trente, quand elle lit des poèmes de Paul Colinet, de Paul Éluard ou de René Char, ou quand elle prend la parole à des ouvertures d’exposition.

  • The Artist Who Was Master of the Double Take
    1 THE ARTIST WHO WAS MASTER OF THE DOUBLE TAKE By Bennett Schiff, Smithsonian, Sept. 1992 Magritte is called a Surrealist, but what he really did was show us the mystery that's there when our basic assumptions are challenged Stroll along with Rene Magritte, the maker of improbable images, his wife, Georgette, and their beloved little dog, Loulou. They are in that solid bourgeois neighborhood of Brussels known for its restaurants and movie houses. It's about 1955. As usual, Magritte is wearing a good suit and a bowler, his favorite headgear. Like a face in one of his paintings, Magritte's is expressionless. In fact, he looks as if he's just stepped out of one of his paintings. It is legitimate to imagine him stepping back in, a passenger in a revolving door set right into the canvas. All is sober and ordinary, except that he and Georgette, as is their custom, are taking Loulou, the tiny, powderpuff Pomeranian, to the movies. One of the things about Magritte, this gentle man with the stockbroker's face, is that he can always surprise you. He can make you ask questions, but don't expect answers. Magritte deals in images, in poetry and, ultimately, in mystery. If you must have answers, it is best that you make them up to suit yourself. At heart Magritte was a detonator, a bombardier. "I detest my past," he wrote, "and anyone else's. I detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of mothballs, events of the moment, and drunken people." His images were meant to upset the pattern, to undermine conventional expectations.

Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1898 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history— from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art 8o pages, 72 illustrations (75 in color) $6.95 RENE MAGRITTE by James Thrall Soby rene magritte, born in Belgium in 1898, has lived in Brussels all his adult life except for a few years in the late 1920s when he joined the surrealist group in Paris. Outwardly his life has been uneventful, but the interior world of imagination revealed in his art has been varied and extraordinarily inventive and has won him a leading place among the fantasists of our time. In this catalogue of The Museum of Modern Art exhibition of the work of Rene Magritte, Mr. Soby traces Magritte's career, describing its enigmatic development and throwing light on the abrupt changes of style, the recurring symbolic motifs, and the audacious spatial relationships. His analysis of individual paint ings—from the first surrealist pictures to his most recent works—reveals the sources of Magritte's imagery and provides new inter pretations for some of his major works. A brief chronology, an extensive bibliography, and a listing of many of his own published writings supplement the text. James Thrall Soby, Chairman of the Collec tion Committee of The Museum of Modern Art and also of its Department of Painting and Sculpture Exhibitions, is the author of many distinguished books on modern artists, among them Giorgio de Chirico, Yves Tanguy, and Balthus.

A BIT OF HISTORY BETWEEN ART AND POLITICS Surrealism is an artistic movement born in the concrete context of the aftermath of the First World War. The war symbolised the failure of two ideals that had marked the societal debate before 1914: internationalism and positivism. Due to the commitment of the various socialist parties to a war of nations, the hope that the international workers’ movement would defeat nationalism evap- orated. The use of scientific knowledge for the purposes of the most atrocious war in history also dispelled the hope that a better world would emerge from the victory of knowledge over obscurantism (enlightenment over darkness, knowledge over superstition). Surrealism was born at the point where these two failures converged. Several Belgian protagonists of the movement joined various revolutionary socialist tendencies that arose in response to the «betrayal of social democracy» (Communists, Trotskyists, Mao- ists). Paul Nougé was one of the founders of the Belgian Communist Party. Rene Magritte joined this party three times, but also left it.

  • The Art Criticism of David Sylvester James Finch Word Count
    The Art Criticism of David Sylvester James Finch Word Count: 99,908 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the University of Kent for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of the History and Philosophy of Art, the University of Kent, Canterbury September 2016 2 © Copyright James Finch, 2016. All rights reserved. 3 Abstract The English art critic and curator David Sylvester (1924-2001) played a significant role in the formation of taste in Britain during the second half of the twentieth century. Through his writing, curating and other work Sylvester did much to shape the reputations of, and discourse around, important twentieth century artists including Francis Bacon, Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore and René Magritte. At the same time his career is of significant sociohistorical interest. On a personal level it shows how a schoolboy expelled at the age of fifteen with no qualifications went on to become a CBE, a Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the first critic to receive a Leone d’Oro at the Venice Biennale, assembling a personal collection of artworks worth millions of pounds in the process. In terms of the history of post-war art more broadly, meanwhile, Sylvester’s criticism provides a way of understanding developments in British art and its relation to those in Paris and New York during the 1950s and 1960s. This thesis provides the first survey of Sylvester’s entire output as an art critic across different media and genres, and makes a case for him as a commentator of comparable significance to Roger Fry, Herbert Read, and other British critics who have already received significant scholarly attention.

  • Cavalier History of Surrealism, A
    will massacre the priests themselves by way of an Amen The bases of a practical approach to religion were laid down in L’Action immédiate by René Magritte, E.L.T Mesens, Paul A Cavalier History of Nougé, Louis Scutenaire and André Souris: Surrealism We are convinced that what has been done to op- pose religion up to now has been virtually without effect and that new means of action must be envis- aged. Raoul Vaneigem At the present time the Surrealists are the people best fitted to undertake this task. So as not tolose any time, we must aim for the head: the outra- geous history of religions should be made known to all, the lives of young priests should be made un- bearable, and all sects and organizations of the Sal- vation Army or of the Evangelical variety should be discredited by means of every kind of mockery our imagination can devise. Think how exhilarat- ing it would be if we could persuade the better part of our youth to mount a well prepared and sys- tematic campaign of disruption of church services, baptisms, communions, funerals and so on. Mean- while roadside crosses might usefully be replaced by images promoting erotic love or poetically eu- logizing the natural surroundings, particularly if these happen to be grim. In an article published in Intervention surréaliste (1934) which went scandalously unheeded, Pierre Yoyotte set the tone for a debate that ought by rights to have sparked action of the broadest scope: The Communists have always officially evinced 1977 an extremely unintelligent suspicion with respect 44 The struggle against Christianity, for instance, by now aban- doned by Bolshevism, suffered not a little from this miscon- ceived modesty.
