Rare Magritte word-pictures at London’s Luxembourg & Dayan gallery

The Savile Row gallery presents the brilliance of the Belgian painter during his important Paris period. 

 

It’s been 26 long years since London played host to a show dedicated to the master of Belgian surrealism, René Magritte. Patient art buffs, who may remember the Hayward Gallery’s exhibition in 1992, will now be richly rewarded with a visit to René Magritte (Or: The Rule of Metaphor) at Savile Row’s Luxembourg & Dayan gallery. This exhibition, running from February 27 until May 12, is dedicated to the development of his early word-pictures during his time spent in Paris between 1927 to 1930.
