Black Magic, Magritte

Approaching fifty years old, René Magritte had accumulated much experience and academic training in painting.
This female nude is a portrait of his own wife Georgette Berger and was created following the golden ratio of classic beauty, which gives it the appearance of a perfect sculpture and an unquestionable beauty.

The sky blue coloration confirms the creative and surrealistic character of the canvas: a woman merging with the sky, but with one hand on a stone, symbolizing her belonging to the earth.
