The Secret Life

미술관의 설명

An important Surrealist active in Brussels and Paris, René Magritte used traditional painting techniques to create images of realistically rendered objects juxtaposed illogically. Magritte and other Surrealists were inspired by the poetry of Isidore Ducasse (1846–1870), who wrote under the pseudonym Comte de Lautréamont, and defined beauty as “the chance meeting on a dissection table of a sewing machine and an umbrella.” Magritte’s visual paradoxes, which may seem contradictory or irrational, are designed to undermine our complacent belief in a stable, predictable world. This is the first of many paintings Magritte made with the title The Secret Life.
