From the start, the Belgian Surrealists--among them Ren� Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Paul Noug�, E.L.T. Mesens and Marcel Mari�n--distinguished themselves from their Parisian counterparts with their dry wit, brilliant conceptualism and knack for combining the fantastical and the everyday (e.g., Magritte's bowler-hatted men, or Marcel Mari�n's iconic single-lensed spectacle), and their disinclination to issue Breton-style manifestos.
This revelatory volume celebrates the Surrealist movement in Belgium through a group of more than 250 paintings, drawings, photographs, prints and books by artists such as Rachel Baes, Paul Delvaux, Camille Goemans, Jane Graverol, Tom Gutt, Jacques Lacomblez, Ren� Magritte, Marcel Mari�n, Jacques Matton, Edouard (E.L.T.) Mesens, Paul Noug�, Gilbert Senecaut, Louis Scutenaire, Max Servais, Armand Simon, Andr� Stas Raoul Ubac, Louis Van de Spiegele, Rogier Van de Wouwer and Robert Willems.
