The discovery of photographs by René Magritte in the seventies, ten years after the painter’s death, shed new light on his creative process and the close links that
he maintained with the “mechanical image”, whether it involved photography or cinematography.
The exhibition is composed of 131 original photographs, mostly created by René Magritte, and a chapter containing his home movies staging himself and his friends.
“René Magritte. The revealing image” questions Magritte’s relationship with the mechanical image while drawing connections with his work and further revealing
a private side of Magritte.
In addition, exhibitions by Laurence Bibot, Diana Matar and Mathieu Van Assche will open on 25 January 2020.
