René Magritte, Spain.

Original exhibition poster about René Magritte which took place at Juan March Foundation in 1989 from 20th January to 23rd April in Madrid, Spain.

Scene depicts Magritte’s “La corde sensible” (Heartstring); A simple champagne glass sits in a serene and wonderfully lush river plain with mountains in the distance. A white cloud should be floating in the sky and should appear bigger than the glass in reality, but in this portrait, the cloud seems to be resting on top of the glass, slowly filling the inside. This presents quite the visual conundrum that Magritte loved to express in his art. By completely disregarding what an item should be in its identity, he challenged the viewer to ask questions about the reality of what they saw, and how they truly relate and identify with them, changing their perspectives and assumptions.

This makes sense given the process that Magritte used in his works, of which he stated, "I cannot paint before I have the whole picture in my head. It happens slowly… I want to paint a cloud. So I draw some clouds, maybe a hundred of them. And each time I surround them with shapes whose meaning remains hidden from me until such time as inspiration visits anew and I know what fits beneath the cloud is a champagne glass".
