Last week I visited the
amazing René Magritte Museum in Jette, Brussels. It occupies the
house in which the Belgian surrealist painter worked nearly 24 years of his
life. Next to his apartment, studio Dongo in the backyard and an biographical section, there was the
temporary exhibition 'The Lost Magritte'. It presents reconstructions
of 26 disappeared or destroyed works of the artist. Most of them are remembered only by a plain black and
white photograph - but for this occasion they were brought back to life, in
their original format.
