The Museum of Modern Art, The Menil Collection , Surrealist years of René Magritte,

This exhibition, co-organized by The Museum of Modern Art, The Menil Collection, Houston, and The Art Institute of Chicago, is the first to focus exclusively on the breakthrough Surrealist years of René Magritte, creator of some of the 20th century’s most extraordinary images. Beginning in 1926, when Magritte first aimed to create paintings that would, in his words, “challenge the real world,” and concluding in 1938

Lovers of Magritte’s coy style, his peculiar silences and intriguing enigmas will find plenty to enjoy in “Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1925-1938.” Many of the most famous works are here, representing the artist’s conversion to and development of his signature surrealist style, in which the faces are blank, the settings spare, and everything is rendered with the clarity and rigorous design of commercial art, yet cognizant of the stylistic games of modernism and the history of academic and classical art.
