The Mystery of Magritte

The Mystery of Magritte

René Magritte
0/5 ( ratings)
Among the most highly praised CD-ROMs ever produced about a single artist, The Mystery of Magritte is an interactive journey into the work, life, and mind of the great Belgian Surrealist Rene Magritte .Six beautifully constructed "chapters" explore aspects of Magritte, from personal issues that influenced his art to his playful theories about words and images. Paintings, photographs, and movies materialize and dematerialize on the screen in a seamless presentation of images, voice, music, and text that successfully evokes the Surrealist sensibility. Each time the program is opened, the user may choose any of countless paths through a dense thicket of information and ideas, experiencing at firsthand the impulses and subtle nuances of the Surrealist imagination.

More than 300 works by Magritte, reproduced in full color, are accessible through an index that can be searched by title, date, or theme. Also included are numerous film clips of, and by, the artist, his rarely seen advertisements, collages, sculptures, and photographs, and many audio passages describing his art in Magritte's own words.
