"Le Bouquet tout fait (The Ready-made Bouquet)" is a color lithograph after a 1954 original painting by Rene Magritte. A bourgeois "little man" faces away from the viewer looking towards a fall forest. Flora, the goddess of flowers and season of spring, from Sandro Botticelli's "Primavera" is painted on the back of the man. This juxtaposes fall and spring. Art: 12 x 9.75 in Frame: 22.38 x 20.38 in René-François-Ghislain Magritte was born November 21, 1898, in Lessines, Belgium and died on August 15, 1967 in Brussels. He is one of the most important surrealist artists. Through his art, Magritte creates humor and mystery with juxtapositions and shocking irregularities. Some of his hallmark motifs include the bourgeois “little man,” bowler hats, apples, hidden faces, and contradictory texts. René Magritte’s father was a tailor and his mother was a miller. Tragedy struck Magritte’s life when his mother committed suicide when he was only fourteen. Magritte and his two brothers were thereafter raised by their grandmother. Magritte studied at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts from 1916 to 1918. After graduating he worked as a wallpaper designer and in advertisement. It was during this period that he married Georgette Berger, whom he had known since they were teenagers. In 1926, René Magritte signed a contract with the Brussels Art Gallery, which allowed him to quit his other jobs and focus completely on creating art. A year later he had his first solo show at the Galerie la Centaurie in Brussels. At this show Magritte exhibited what is today thought of as his first surrealist piece, The Lost Jockey, painted in 1926. In this work a jockey and his steed run across a theater stage, curtains parted on either side. Throughout the scene, there are trees with trunks shaped somewhat like chess pawns with musical scores running vertically up their sides and branches sticking out from all angles. Critics did not enjoy this style of art; it was new, different, and took critical thought to understand, but The Lost Jockey was only the first of many surrealist artworks Magritte would paint. Because of the bad press in Brussels, René and Georgette moved to Paris in 1927, with the hope that this center of avant-garde art would bring him success and recognition. In Paris, he was able to become friends with many other surrealists, including André Breton and Paul Éluard. They were able to learn from and inspire one another, pushing the Surrealist movement further forward. It was also in Paris that Magritte decided to add text to some of his pieces, which was one of the elements that made his artwork stand out. In 1929, he painted one of his most famous oil works: The Treachery of Images. This is the eye-catching piece centered on a pipe. Below the pipe is written “Ceci n’est pas un pipe,” which translates to “This is not a pipe.” This simple sentence upset many critics of the time, for of course it was a pipe. Magritte replied that it was not a pipe, but a representation of a pipe. One could not use this oil on canvas as a pipe, to fill it with tobacco and smoke it. Thus, it was not a pipe. In 1930, Magritte and Georgette moved back to Brussels. Though they would travel to his exhibitions elsewhere, their home going forward would always be in Brussels. Magritte had his first American exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York City in 1936 and his first show in England two years later in 1938 at The London...

"La Reconnaissance Infinie (The Infinite Recognition)" is a color lithograph after the 1963 painting by Rene Magritte. Two of Magritte's bourgeois "little men" stand in the sky. Both look away from the viewer talking to each other in the typical outfit of Magritte's men, black trench coats and bowler hats. Art: 15 x 18.25 in Frame: 26.25 x 29.88 in René-François-Ghislain Magritte was born November 21, 1898, in Lessines, Belgium and died on August 15, 1967 in Brussels.

"L'Entree en scene (The Emergence)" is a color lithograph after a 1961 original piece by Rene Magritte. A transparent bird flies over the ocean. The body of this bird shows through it a clean light sky with fluffy clouds. The view around the bird is instead the dark night, stars shine at the top of the scene. Clouds blow by and the waves are turbulent.

Les Bijoux Indiscrets (The Indiscreet Jewels) Color lithograph, 1962-3 As published in XXeme Siecle, 1963 From the edition issued by San Lazarro unsigned for the album XXeme Siècle No.22. Printed from the same stones and at the same date as the signed edition of 75 impressions. Printed at the studio of Mourlot, Paris 1963. Signed in the stone (see photo) Titled in the stone (See photo) Edition c. 2000 Reference: Kaplan and Baum: Magritte Graphic Work no 3. Kaplan, Surrealist Prints, Figure 80, page 103 Image size: 9 3/16 x 11 7/8 inches "Executed in 1963, Les bijoux indiscrets (pen and ink drawing) is a work which shows a hand which has a face, its eyes closed, on its wrist. Magritte had originally intended to call the oil version of this work, which he conceived of in 1962 but only finally painted during the following year, the same this work on paper was created, La divine comédie, but according to the catalogue raisonné changed his mind following the suggestion of his friend Paul Scutenaire. Instead of the Dante reference, it was replaced by one to Denis Diderot's first novel, a satire in which a monarch had a magic ring able to make the genitals of women speak. In an old English translation, the bijoux were the 'toys', or genitals, of the women, making the play on the notion of transformative and elusive jewels evoked by Magritte's picture all the more complex. For here, in place of a bracelet, is a human face: this is, indeed, an indiscreet jewel; however, in the eighteenth-century novel the indiscretion was shared by the ring which was able to gain such voluble responses from the women of the fictitious Congo of which the main protagonist was sultan and by those women's no-longer-private parts themselves. This title therefore adds an extra layer of Surrealism to the work, paying homage to one of the movement's predecessors. Les bijoux indiscrets is a preparatory work for a lithograph that Magritte created for XXe Siècle, which was published at Christmas the same year. Clearly, the artist was returning to and embellishing his original composition, which had shown a simple landscape as a backdrop to the articulate hand...
