{"product_id":"rene-magritte-the-artists-materials","title":"René Magritte: The Artist's Materials","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first book-length material study of the works of Belgian Surrealist René Magritte.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e René Magritte (1898-1967) is the most famous Belgian artist of the twentieth century and a celebrated representative of the Surrealist movement. Much has been written about his practices, artistic community, and significance within the history of modernism, but little has been documented regarding his process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume examines fifty oil paintings made by Magritte between 1921 and 1967, now held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. This technical study of his works using noninvasive scientific imaging and chemical analysis reveals the artist's painting materials, his habit of overpainting previous compositions, and the origins and mechanisms of surface and pigment degradation. Of interest to conservators, scientists, curators, and enthusiasts of twentieth-century art, this book expands our understanding of Magritte the artist and provides new and useful findings that will inform strategies for the future care of his works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15731368\"\u003eCatherine Defeyt\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13901811\"\u003eFrancisca Vandepitte\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Conservation Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606068007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606068008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART056000\"\u003eConservation \u0026amp; Preservation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART015100\"\u003eHistory | Modern (Late 19th Century to 1945)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART018000\"\u003eTechniques | Oil Painting\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Defeyt is senior researcher at the University of Liège and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Francisca Vandepitte is senior curator of modern art at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels.","brand":"Getty Conservation Institute","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44528545333485,"sku":"9781606068007","price":63.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_3920feec-8768-49b5-9417-23428e534f17.jpg?v=1701389641","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/rene-magritte-the-artists-materials","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
