Magritte: This Is Not a Biography (Art Masters)

Intoxicated by the promise of a promotion, Charles Singular allows himself a small extravagance for once: he buys a bowler hat. But there's a catch: it's not just any hat. It belonged to the surrealist painter René Magritte, and by putting it on, Charles has unwittingly stepped into the artist's bizarre world. What's more, he cannot escape, at least not until he has unveiled the secrets of Magritte's work. What follows is a mind-bending journey through Magritte's imaginative landscape, a place where facial features mutate, the crescent moon appears in unexpected places, and answers prove frustratingly elusive. In Magritte: This Is Not a Biography, Vincent Zabus and Thomas Campi have created a panoramic and revealing portrait of the great surrealist, employing humor and wit reminiscent of Magritte himself.
