The latest book in SelfMadeHero´s acclaimed Art Masters series

---

Intoxicated by the promise of a promotion, Charles Singular for once allows himself a small extravagance: he buys a bowler hat. But there´s a problem: this is no ordinary hat. This one once belonged to the surrealist painter René Magritte, and by donning it Charles has unwittingly stepped into the artist´s off-kilter world. What´s more, he can´t escape-at least, not until he has illuminated the secrets behind Magritte´s work. What follows is a hallucinatory journey through Magritte´s imaginative landscape, a place where facial features mutate, the crescent moon appears in unexpected places, and answers prove frustratingly elusive. In Magritte: This is not a Biography, Vincent Zabus and Thomas Campi have created a panoramic and revealing portrait of the great surrealist, employing a playfulness and wit reminiscent of Magritte himself.

"...the graphic novel´s overall playfulness, especially its visual riffs on Magritte´s paintings, is a fitting tribute to the artist, and one perfectly suited to the comics form." PopMatters
