1968

About the Item

Original Limited Edition Lithograph in Colours on Vélin d'Arches paper. Edition: 350, plus proofs. Signed in the plate by the artist; hand signed in pencil by the printer, Fernand Mourlot. Excellent Condition; never framed or matted. Notes: From the suite, Les Enfants Trouvés de Magritte, 1968. Published by A.C. Mazo et Cie, Paris; printed by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, 1968. Les Enfants Trouvés de Magritte comprised twelve coloured lithographs, four of which, Ma Mère l'Oye, Pierreries, La Belle Captive and La Traversée Difficile were created specifically for Les Enfants Trouvés by Magritte while he was suffering from pancreatic cancer to which he succumbed in 1967, but executed posthumously in 1968 by the renowned fine art printer Fernand Mourlot in Paris. The remaining eight, from a work entitled the Domaine Enchanté, are after murals which Magritte painted for the Municipal Casino at Knokke-le-Zoute in Belgium. Magritte's graphic work is scarce, with only five works created during his lifetime—two lithographs and three etchings for which he personally worked the plates or stones. In addition there were another fifteen etchings drawn on the plate in collaboration with the master printer George Visat but several of these were published posthumously. RENÉ MAGRITTE (1898-1967) Belgian surrealist artist who is well known for his thought-provoking images that take the perceptions of painting into another realm of reality. As synonymous with Surrealism as Picasso with Cubism, Magritte’s work frequently displays a collection of ordinary objects in unusual contexts, henceforth, creating an illusion of new meanings for familiar objects. As stated by Magritte [in regard to his paintings]: “visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, what does that mean?” Because of his unparalleled talent, Magritte’s work has been exhibited throughout the world and today, remains of the most widely collected surrealist artist of his time.
