Art Masters: Magritte: This is Not a Biography

Intoxicated by the promise of a promotion, Charles Singular for once allows himself a small extravagance: he buys a bowler hat. But there s a problem: this is no ordinary hat. This particular chapeau melon once belonged to the surrealist painter René Magritte, and by donning it Charles has unwittingly stepped into the artist's unbridle, off-kilter world. What s more, he can t escape at least, not until he has illuminated the secrets behind Magritte s work.
What follows is a hallucinatory 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 a playfulness and wit reminiscent of Magritte himself.
