About the Item

Artist: Rene Magritte (1898-1967) (after) Title: Composition, Les Enfants Trouves de Magritte Year: 1968 Medium: Lithograph in colors on wove paper Size: 17.5 x 23.5 inches Edition: 350 Condition: Good Inscription: Signed by Fernand Mourlot, plate signed by Rene Magritte, and unnumbered Notes: Published by A.C. Mazo, and printed by Mourlot. Additional notes: The 1968 suite Les Enfants Trouvés de Magritte (The Found Children of Magritte) occupies a particularly poignant place in the legacy of René Magritte, as it stands at the threshold between his final creative intentions and the posthumous preservation of his vision, beginning as a project he actively authorized and helped initiate in the last years of his life but ultimately completed only after his death in 1967; conceived in collaboration with a Paris publisher and realized through the renowned Atelier Mourlot, the portfolio was designed as a cohesive grouping of twelve color lithographs accompanied by text associated with the Belgian Surrealist writer Louis Scutenaire, reflecting Magritte’s enduring interest in the interplay between image and poetic language, and significantly, several of the lithographs—particularly the opening images—were not mere reproductions but compositions conceived specifically for this project, indicating that Magritte intended the suite to function as a distinct, unified artistic statement rather than a simple retrospective compilation; however, as the edition moved into production, Magritte’s health deteriorated, and he died on August 15, 1967, leaving the project unfinished in its final stages, though crucially he had already approved and authorized the edition before his death, allowing the publishers to complete the printing in 1968 in accordance with his established designs and selections; the resulting portfolio therefore embodies a dual authorship—at once deeply personal to Magritte and yet inevitably shaped by posthumous execution—bringing together newly conceived images with others drawn from his recent major projects, including motifs derived from works such as The Enchanted Domain, thereby compressing the visual language of his late career into a single, portable suite; within the lithographs themselves, Magritte’s mature idiom is unmistakable, with clouds drifting through impossible interiors, birds formed from sky, fragmentary bodies, and objects displaced from their expected contexts, each image functioning less as narrative illustration than as a precise philosophical challenge to perception, continuing the line of inquiry he had pursued throughout his career within Surrealism—not to depict dreams, but to reveal the instability of reality itself; the title Les Enfants Trouvés reinforces this idea, suggesting images that are both discovered and reborn, “foundlings” of his imagination that, in this case, also carry the added resonance of being among the last works he set into motion, their final realization occurring just beyond his lifetime, making the suite not only a synthesis of his late iconography but also a quiet coda to his career, where intention and legacy intersect in the medium of the printed image. RENE MAGRITTE (1898-1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist known for his depictions of familiar objects in unfamiliar, unexpected contexts, which often provoked questions about the nature and boundaries of reality and representation. His imagery has influenced pop art, minimalist art, and conceptual art.

"Les valeurs personnelles (Personal Values)" is a color lithograph after the original 1952 painting by Rene Magritte. This interior scene has objects of various sizes. A comb, match, brush, and glass are bigger than typically larger objects like a queen bed and chest of drawers. The walls are a bright cloudy sky. Art: 19.63 x 4.75 in Frame: 34.13 x 38.88 in René-François-Ghislain Magritte was born November 21, 1898, in Lessines, Belgium and died on August 15, 1967 in Brussels. He is one of the most important surrealist artists. Through his art, Magritte creates humor and mystery with juxtapositions and shocking irregularities. Some of his hallmark motifs include the bourgeois “little man,” bowler hats, apples, hidden faces, and contradictory texts. René Magritte’s father was a tailor and his mother was a miller. Tragedy struck Magritte’s life when his mother committed suicide when he was only fourteen. Magritte and his two brothers were thereafter raised by their grandmother. Magritte studied at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts from 1916 to 1918. After graduating he worked as a wallpaper designer and in advertisement. It was during this period that he married Georgette Berger, whom he had known since they were teenagers. In 1926, René Magritte signed...
