This post is also available in:

Discover the book *Paul Delvaux – Le Rêveur Éveillé* (Paul Delvaux – The Awakened Dreamer), published in 2014 by authors Olivier Cousinou, Georges Banu, Régine Rémon, and Laura Neve, published by Snoeck. This 171-page paperback book, in French, ISBN 9789461611536, is in very good condition. It brings together paintings and watercolors by the internationally renowned Belgian artist, whose world, populated by motionless nude women, clothed male figures, and urban settings—ancient ruins or train stations—evokes a magical realism tinged with latent eroticism.

Paul Delvaux, often associated with Surrealism without being a pure representative of it, defined himself as a naturalist who did not distort nature. Influenced by Latin culture and close to Balthus, he rejected Flemish Expressionism in favor of a reasoned and cerebral composition. The volume presents major works such as the Skeleton series, The Temptation of Saint Anthony, Night Train, The Little Path, and The Blue Sofa, as well as the neoclassical murals created for Gilbert Périer.

Ideal for lovers of Belgian art, restrained surrealism, and magic realism, this catalogue accompanies the exhibition held at the Cantini Museum in Marseille in 2014 and offers a fascinating immersion into the world of the painter whose works are included in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, and the MoMA in New York.
