Description
This lot consists of a fine art print on paper, Hand Signed "Magritte" at bottom right, and numbered "20/200". Image depicts the silhouette of a man wearing a bowler hat. The negative space of the man's body is filled with a starry scene: at his heart level, a house with surrounding trees glows against a twilight backdrop. Further up, stars begin to emerge, and a crescent moon floats in the center of the man's forehead. Behind the man, a low stone wall divides him from the abyss beyond. Everything seems deliberate and loaded with symbolism, such as the enigmatic stone orb that sits on the wall, or the man himself. Done in the Surrealist style of Modernist Rene Magritte (French, 1898-1967). Very similar to other works by Magritte, such as his iconic 1946 painting, "Le Fils de L'Homme (The Son of Man)". Unframed piece measures approximately 8.25" x 11.25"
