Where his oil paintings demanded meticulousness and patience, this was a medium in which he could give his ideas free rein. Fresh approaches were tried out first on paper - in his correspondence as well as in drawings, collages and gouaches. Magritte's many sketches, grid drawings, scribbles in letters and book illustrations demonstrate the extent to which drawing lay at the core of his work. While this aspect of the artist's oeuvre has rarely been examined, it nevertheless underpins all his painting. His drawings help us understand how his ideas evolved. For the first time, this comprehensive publication brings together more than 200 works on paper by René Magritte, many of which have not previously been published.
