One of the most important theorists of the twentieth century, Michel Foucault's (1926-1984) many influential books include Discipline and Punish, The Archeology of Knowledge, The History of Sexuality, and The Discourse on Language.
"This essay not only proposes a new understanding of Magritte; it
also constitutes a perfect illustration and introduction to the
thought of the philosopher himself, France's great wizard of
paradox." * New York Review of Books *
"Magritte's respectful fan letters to Mr. Foucault, which are
included in this volume, the useful introduction and splendid
translation by James Harkness and the handy black-and-white
reproductions of many of Magritte's works combine to make this a
document of extraordinary interest." * New York Times *
"Foucault poses major questions about pictorial reference, and his
original and novel account is worth arguing with." * Leonardo *
