The first major biography of the influential surrealist artist.
What The Reviewers Say
Far from underestimating Magritte, Danchev’s picture of him is pointillist and enormous in scope. It is full of shock, for the casual Magritte fan who knows little about his life.
As a whole, the book is accessible, factually reliable and, at 439 pages, free of the inflated heft of so many recent biographies.
[A] diligent and insightful biography.
[A] thoroughly and gruesomely entertaining biography.
