Details
Identifying paradox and subversiveness as defining characteristics of modern art from Belgium, this catalogue presents some 45 works by four important Belgian artists: Surrealist paintings by Magritte (1898-1967), conceptual assemblages and collages by Broodthaers (1924-1976), mechanistic animal sculptures by Panamarenko (b. 1940), and recent ballpoint pen drawings and ink-covered objects by Fabre (b. 1958). Fine reproductions of the featured works are accompanied by individual critical discussions of the artists.
