Magritte 's Srreal images tbe shw Works by one of the most original painters of the 2th cen- tury wil be on display at The Station Gallery from J une 4 to Juegian painter Rene Magritte's Surre gialist images in- cude a man's face hidden behind an apple, a rock floating in the sky, or two feet transformned into shoes -- and these have been reproduoed on posters, T-shirts and greeting cards. The exhibition by Magritte (1898-1967) focuses on his oni- gin ality and the broadr context of Surrealiet im agery. His images depict the chance encounters experienced only in dreams when disparate everyday objects corne together in fantasti- cal ways. In his 1959 painting, 'L'Anni- versaire,' a large boulder comes to, rest in an unfurnished room overlooking the sea -- accepted notions of reality are upset by this apparently impossible occur- rence. The exhibition is organized and circulated by the Art Gallery of Ontario. Also on display in June will be Normnan Rajotte's photographe of unconventional landscavas. In the rich images shot by Quebec photographer, thick underbrush light-streaked clear- inga, dense foliage, twisted tree trunks and patterned rocks reveal themselves, under close examination, as insidious, inper- ceptible and mysterious forces.
