About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Rene Magritte (1898–1967), titled Sans titre (Untitled), from the album Poems 1923-1958, Dix dessins de Rene Magritte (Ten Drawings by Rene Magritte), 1959, originates from the edition published and printed by Le Terrain Vague, Paris, in 1959. The work embodies Magrittes sustained inquiry into semiotics and visual epistemology, translating his characteristic strategies of displacement, symbolic inversion, and conceptual ambiguity into an image that operates as both a poetic metaphor and a philosophical proposition concerning the instability of meaning. Executed as a lithograph on offset neige marques paper, this work measures 7.5 x 5.5 inches (19.1 x 14 cm). Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the technical mastery associated with mid twentieth century Surrealist printmaking.

About the Publication: Poems 1923-1958, Dix dessins de Rene Magritte (Ten Drawings by Rene Magritte), published and printed in 1959 by Le Terrain Vague, Paris, stands as one of the most historically significant literary and artistic collaborations associated with the postwar Surrealist movement. Conceived as an interdisciplinary tribute, the album unites Magrittes graphic work with the poetic writings of his longtime friend and Surrealist collaborator Louis Scutenaire. Produced during a period when Surrealism was undergoing a critical revival in Paris, the publication reflects the intellectual climate of Le Terrain Vague, the influential avant garde press directed by Eric Losfeld. Issued in multiple paper states and complexly tiered editions—including examples with original drawings by Magritte—the album exemplifies the publishers commitment to experimental bookmaking and its role in sustaining Surrealist discourse in the mid twentieth century. Today, the project endures as an essential document of Magrittes broader artistic practice, illuminating the intersection of image, language, and philosophical inquiry that defines his oeuvre. About the Artist: Rene Magritte (1898–1967) was a Belgian Surrealist painter whose visionary, intellectual, and poetic imagery redefined twentieth century art and forever changed how the world perceives reality and illusion. Celebrated for his calm precision and thought provoking juxtapositions of ordinary objects in extraordinary contexts, Magritte used painting as a philosophical tool, transforming the everyday into visual paradoxes that challenged the boundaries between what is seen and what is known. Born in Lessines, Belgium, and trained at the Academie Royale des Beaux Arts in Brussels, he absorbed early influences from Cubism, Futurism, and Symbolism before embracing Surrealism, where he found his true voice. In Paris, he became part of the avant garde circle that included Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassilly Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists whose radical ideas helped him forge his distinctive synthesis of logic and mystery. Unlike Dalis dream like flamboyance or Miros biomorphic whimsy, Magrittes art was characterized by clarity, restraint, and wit. His masterpieces such as The Treachery of Images (1929), The Lovers (1928), The False Mirror (1929), The Human Condition (1933), and The Son of Man (1964) remain icons of modern art, exploring the tension between object and idea, perception and truth. Through these works, Magritte revealed that art—and reality itself—is a construct of interpretation, not fact. His crisp realism and conceptual depth merged Duchamps intellectual irony with Kandinskys spiritual abstraction, producing an art that was as rigorous as it was enigmatic. Throughout his life, Magritte maintained an independent position within Surrealism, preferring quiet paradox over emotional drama, and crafting what he called visible images that evoke mystery. His influence reverberated through Pop Art, Conceptualism, Minimalism, and Postmodernism, shaping artists such as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Joseph Kosuth, John Baldessari, and Ed Ruscha, as well as filmmakers like David Lynch and Jean Luc Godard. Today, his imagery remains embedded in global visual culture, bridging philosophy, psychology, and aesthetics. Exhibited in major institutions worldwide including MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Centre Pompidou, Magrittes art continues to inspire generations to see the world anew. His highest auction record was achieved by Lempire des lumieres (1954), which sold for approximately 121.1 million USD at Christies, New York, on November 20, 2024, reaffirming his timeless legacy as a master of mystery and modern thought.
