Marcel Paquet - René Magritte

It started with me and René some time last year - or maybe it was the year before - in the permanent collection of the NGV, my attention arrested by his "In Praise of Dialectics" (he may've done more than one). That's still the only of his works that I've actually seen, but meanwhile I've been making do with books, and this Taschen volume is a good 'un, attractively laid out, reproducing the famous ones, and narrated by way of a lucid and insightful commentary. If I were to pick one painter whose work best represents the way I experience the world, it'd be Magritte, I think.
