The Promenades Of Euclid Rene Magritte Art Postcard

Description: The Promenades Of Euclid Rene Magritte Art Postcard Surrealism was an art of fantasy, dream, and the unconscious, delving into the recesses of the human psyche to discover mysterious, bizarre, and often disturbing images. René Magritte, however, was a Surrealist painter more fascinated by puzzles and paradoxes than by the nature of the unconscious. The Promenades of Euclid presents the age-old problem of illusion versus reality. In this witty picture within a picture, the canvas in front of the window seems to exactly replicate the section of city it blocks from view. But does it' Could the twin forms of tower and street exist only in the artist's imagination' Or do we view the actual city through a transparent canvas'. On view at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. René François Ghislain Magritte (1898 – 1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist known for his depictions of familiar objects in unfamiliar, unexpected contexts, which often provoked questions about the nature and boundaries of reality and representation. His imagery has influenced pop art, minimalist art, and conceptual art. The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) is an arts museum located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
