In the images of Belgian Surrealist Rene Magritte, well-dressed businessmen move through an enigmatic world in which strange things happen--and yet all seems as it should be. A prolific painter, Magritte embarked on a short burst of printmaking activity a few years before his death, making a few prints drawn by his own hand. In this rare etching, the eyes, nose, and mouth of a man hover in the space between his fedora and his suit and tie.
