The work of Magritte still influences many contemporary artists today. To mark the anniversary, the exhibition of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium will focus first on the dialogue that Marcel Broodthaers started with Magritte’s work in 1964 and secondly show the works of artists who, since the 80s, have been inspired by the artist’s ‘vache’ period. The influence of the ‘word-paintings’ (1927-1929) both in Belgium and the United States contributed to the emergence of Conceptual art. The Magritte-Broodthaers relationship developed at the end of Wold War II. At a time when Magritte intended to redefine Surrealism by positioning it in ‘full sunlight’ during his ‘Renoir’ period. This period ended with the series of works described as ‘vache’ which were exhibited in Paris in 1948. This trashing of painting by painting itself in an exuberant gesture marked and still marks much of the contemporary creation. Far from the search for critical knowledge that was at the heart of the Magritte-Broodthaers axis, the aim here is to re-establish the supremacy of the subject, if only in an ironic way. From Georges Condo to Gavin Turk, from Sean Landers to David Altmejd, the work of Magritte constitutes a major reference for any artist who intends to reflect on the production of images, the representation or transposition of reality under the sign of similarity. The exhibition is exceptionally open 7 days a week. 1936. Only for this occasion, the Magritte Museum will open every .

It was thanks to him that Magritte discovered the work of Giorgio De Chirico that would revolutionize his vision of painting. A great complicity also linked him to Broodthaers who immortalized him shortly before his death. In addition to their relationship, the exhibition will feature Lecomte’s unpublished texts about Magritte and the correspondence between these two friends and accomplices. To accompany this exhibition, the RMFAB will publish a new Cahier des Musées devoted to ‘Marcel Lecomte’. Authors: Philippe Dewolf, Paul Aron + texts from Marcel Lecomte, Jacques Van Lennep and Suzanne Houbart.

The sea is a source of inspiration in the works of Magritte. The beach and the waves, the sea and the sky often form the background in his surrealist paintings. Eric Rinkchout, specialist of Magritte, explores the history of Magritte the artist, and also that of René, the man and the sea. >> 12 13 THE MAGRITTE CEILING IN THE THÉÂTRE DES GALERIES (Galerie du Roi in the Galeries Saint Hubert, Brussels) During the refurbishment of the Theatre in 1951, René Magritte executed a ‘cloudy’ fresco for its ceiling. The initial project, known from a preparatory gouache, showed a sky in which many bells were floating, one of the most frequent motifs used by Magritte. However, Magritte was asked not to paint these dark symbols in the fresco. During the recent renovation of 2016, it was decided to paint the initial project according to the original gouache exhibited in the Magritte Museum.

  • Fernand Khnopff: Writings on Art and Artists
    Fernand Khnopff: Writings on Art and Artists Fernand Khnopff, c. 1900 Edited and translated by Jeffery Howe Boston College 2016 1 About this project This compilation includes all the published writings on art by Fernand Khnopff (1858- 1921), the noted Belgian Symbolist painter, that I have been able to locate. He wrote extensively for Belgian and English publications, and was also translated into German for journals in Berlin and Vienna. An invaluable guide to Khnopff’s writings is the extensive bibliography in the catalog raisonné of his works published in 1987: Robert Delevoy, Catherine De Croës, and Giselle Ollinger-Zinque. Fernand Khnopff. Catalogue de l’œuvre (Brussels: Lebeer Hossmann, 1987). A significant number of articles has been added to their list. Some of Khnopff’s public lectures were extensively reported in the press, and these summaries have been included also. Fernand Khnopff will be one of the featured artists in the exhibition at the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College, “The Spirit of the Land: Tradition and Innovation in Belgian Landscape Painting” in the fall of 2017. Khnopff’s writings are a valuable source of information about many of the artists included in this exhibition. An introductory essay by the editor, “The Artist as Critic: Fernand Khnopff on Art and Artists,” introduces the major sections of this compilation. Articles originally in French and German have been translated by the editor; the translations are marked with a different font color, and follow the transcribed articles. The editor cheerfully admits to not being a professional translator, so the reader is encouraged to consult the original texts.

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.
