René Magritte, *Catalogue Raisonné II: Oil Paintings and Objects, 1931–1948*, by Sarah Whitfield and David Sylvester. A brand-new, shrink-wrapped copy in English (ISBN 9780815042938), this substantial volume—measuring 15.74 x 10.23 inches (40 x 26 cm) and weighing 8.62 lb (3.91 kg)—serves as the definitive reference for collectors and researchers. This scholarly work meticulously catalogues and analyzes all oil paintings and Surrealist objects created by the Belgian master during these seventeen pivotal years, featuring over 370 illustrated entries (nos. 334–706) that detail their genesis, provenance, exhibition history, and precise dating.
A richly illustrated biographical timeline, archival material, and extensive excerpts from correspondence with contemporaries, dealers, and collectors make this volume an indispensable tool for authentication and historical study, much more than just an art book. Covering the key period including the 1933 exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts, “The Rape,” the first New York exhibition in 1936, the London sojourn, the “in broad daylight” period, and the provocative “cow period” of 1948, it documents a foundational moment of Surrealism. In mint, sealed condition; its impressive dimensions and substantial weight ensure a prestigious presence in any art library. Order this rare and essential Magritte catalogue raisonné now.
