Pendant ce temps, chez René Magritte
La vie entière1929
A contract with the Goemans Gallery in Paris
In 1929 the Goemans Gallery in Paris put Magritte under contract, together with Jean Arp and Yves Tanguy.
15 December 1929
The essay “Words and Images” in the Surrealists’ journal
On 15 December 1929 the last issue, No. 12, of La Révolution surréaliste carried Magritte’s essay “Les mots et les images”, in which words play with images in step with his “The Treachery of Images”.
1930
Back to Brussels: advertising instead of a gallery
Galerie Le Centaure closed at the end of 1929, ending his contract income, and he had made little impact in Paris, so in 1930 Magritte returned to Brussels and to advertising. With his brother Paul he formed an agency that earned him a living wage.
1930–1932
No exhibitions, no sales: a stipend from Claude Spaak
Between 1930 and 1932 Magritte had no exhibitions and sold no work; he was supported by a monthly stipend arranged by the Belgian playwright Claude Spaak.
1930s
The patronage of Edward James
The British Surrealist patron Edward James let Magritte stay rent-free in his London home, where he studied architecture and painted; James is depicted in two paintings of 1937, “The Pleasure Principle” and “Not to Be Reproduced”.
