- Lot Description
A small drawing in charcoal by Rene Magritte. Signed. Paris gallery stamp on verso.
Mounted and framed.
The white cloths swathing their heads and coiling over their shoulders could be part of a game, a comment on mysteries, secrecy or pretence between people, or something more sinister.
When René Magritte was thirteen his mother’s body was found in the river, supposedly with her nightgown around her face. As he said, he never found out ‘whether she had covered her eyes with it so as not to see the death she had chosen, or whether she had been veiled in that way by the swirling currents’. Like many other Surrealists, Magritte was fascinated by Fantômas, the shadowy hero of a thriller series of novels and films whose identity remained secret because his face was disguised by a cloth or stocking.
Magritte said he was not a painter, but a man who thought and who communicated his thought by painting instead of words or music. He resisted interpretations of his works, scorning the flight from the poetry and mystery of an image into comfortable explanations. - Shipping Info
