KMSKA LATE - Curator talk - Lisa Van Gerven

In 1938, René Magritte gave a lecture at the KMSKA about his vision of reality. He discussed the origin and development of his art and the history of the Surrealist movement in Belgium. Under the title La ligne de vie, this lecture, his second after the one at the International Surrealist Exhibition in London, was the most important he ever gave about his work.

In the exhibition Magritte. La ligne de vie, you can discover, among other things, a selection of works that were also highlighted during the lecture. The exhibition also delves deeper into Magritte as a connecting figure between Surrealism in Antwerp and Brussels. This Antwerp connection brings us to Surrealists such as Marcel Mariën and Léo Dohmen.
