Discover how Magritte -who introduced mystery in painting- inspired Folon, who would never cease to explore the paths of poetry.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis publication compares the works of two major Belgian artists - René Magritte and Jean-Michel Folon- their common grounds and their language in painting. Magritte depicts the mystery that emanates from the everyday life, while Folon opts for dreaminess and stylization. Folon replaces Magritte's pigeon with a refined bird, drawn in a single stroke; he prefers a rectangular parallelepiped to the surrealist's well-described house. When he was 18, in 1953, Folon recalls discovering \u003ci\u003eLe Domaine enchanté\u003c\/i\u003e, the series of murals Magritte had just painted for the Knokke casino. It was a revelation. Although the two artists never met and 36 years separated them, Folon has acknowledged to be indebted to the master of Belgian surrealism -whom he considers \"one of the fathers of his generation\"- throughout his career. Magritte, by opening up the paths of mystery in painting, laid the foundations for Folon's art, which would never cease to explore the paths of poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lannoo Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782390252689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.17h x 8.44w x 0.80d","brand":"Michel Draguet,Marie Godet,St\u0026#195;\u0026#169;phanie Angelroth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52210009178293,"sku":"9782390252689","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5a567c49-ea18-40a8-acd0-8b70483fb0da.jpg?v=1770132037","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/magritte-folon-the-dream-factory-9782390252689","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
