Un prêtre marié (French Edition)

This stillness adds so much to the picture's impact, yet it is all the more ingenious a weapon in the artist's arsenal because it belongs firmly within the conventions of the nature morte. Magritte has deliberately used this subject in order to engineer a collision between various traditional genres of painting. This is at once landscape, with the apples dwarfing the horizon and dominating the canvas like mountains; it is still life; and crucially, it is portrait.

Magritte has managed to mix all these genres and categories to create something that is both entertaining and disturbing, that begs us to question reality, and also to question art and the nature of representation. The masked apple originally appeared in Magritte's work as the design for a cover for an edition of View , published in December Clearly, Magritte was pleased with his image, as he returned to the theme of the masked apple in several paintings over the following decade and a half, exploring various compositions and variations.

In Magritte's, the masked apple is a dynamic character, shown against a vivid, shimmering background.

It was indirectly through de Maerel that Magritte met, in , the man who would become his so-called 'ambassador,' Harry Torczyner, an international lawyer, ex-patriot Belgian and great collector who also published several books on the artist. De Maerel's sister had asked Torczyner to visit Magritte to pick up a picture for her, and this led to the first of several meetings and the beginning of an important friendship.

Magritte had been asked by de Maerel for a painting of masked apples, which accordingly the artist executed. However, he became attached to the picture, writing to Torczyner that he hoped the prospective buyer would not come: I would just as soon he forgot about the picture and that it stayed with me' Magritte, quoted in D. Magritte was clearly attached to this picture, but was soon disappointed to find that his trustworthy ambassador had in fact told de Maerel, against the artist's wishes, about the picture-- and that the latter had been to collect it: On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property.

This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.
