Description:
|
|
La Clef des champs (The Key of the Field) was painted in 1936. By then Magritte was internationally known, as Alfred Barr had included his work in the legendary exhibition of Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism, as an exponent of photographic Surrealism, together with Dalí and Tanguy. Through the traditional theme of the picture within a picture, in the manner of a painted collage, Magritte explores the world of absurd associations as Max Ernst had done before him. The landscape painted on the broken glass therefore shows that illusion and reality are one of the same thing. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
