From the pages of this comprehensive, personal, and unconventional book the real Rene Magritte emerges for the first time. Magritte speaks for himself, not only through incomparable paintings but through his own provocative manifestos and the innumerable letters he wrote to those close to him–among whom was numbered the author of this book. An international lawyer, Harry Torczyner was Magritte’s adviser and friend, and in assembling the largely unpublished material for this book he has had the cooperation of the artist’s widow and other members of Magritte’s circle.
