Extract
The Pleasure Principle aims to focus on the less explored aspects of Magritte's life and artistic practice, and will focus on themes including the artist's use of pattern and artifice, ideas and revelation, and visual fracture and eroticism. The exhibition will also investigate the relationship between Magritte's painterly work and commercial design, and the inspiration he drew from mass market literature and popular culture.
