More About

Magritte's imagery has been co-opted for everything from the CBS eye logo to album cover art, from Monty Python animations to James Cameron's floating Avatar landscapes, but this exhibition forcefully reminds us of its original power. Few artists before or since have so remorselessly exposed the simultaneous disconnection and entanglement of the ravenous meat and imaginative neurons that make up the human body.
