First Look: Impressionist & Surrealist Highlights

• 

  René Magritte, L'Arc de Triomphe. Estimate: £500,000–700,000.

  L'Arc de Triomphe shows Magritte exploring the idea of how one object can be seen or depicted in multiple ways. In this surrealist vision, he presents the viewer both with the image of the tree in its entirety and a close-up view of meticulously painted leaves. The simultaneity of this experience was intended to enhance or illuminate the reality of the object.

  René Magritte, Le coup au cœur. Estimate: £500,000–700,000.

  Le coup au cœur was Magritte's solution to what he called 'the problem of the rose'. The contradiction between the sweetness and softness of the rose and the cruel sharpness of its thorns is a paradox that intrigued him, and he sought to underline it by augmenting the rose's natural weapon – its thorn – with an actual weapon – a dagger.

  Max Ernst, Colombes noires sur fond rouge. Estimate: £350,000–450,000.

  Colombes noires sur fond rouge exemplifies both Ernst's technical innovations and the very personal iconography that underpinned so much of his best work. Birds were a key motif for the artist and he often used them as an alter-ego or to suggest flight, and through that, the workings of the artistic spirit.

  Théo van Rysselberghe, Canal en Flandre. Estimate: £500,000–700,000.

  Painted in 1894 at the height of his artistic powers, Canal en Flandre is a striking example of Théo van Rysselberghe’s mastery of the pointilliste technique. The Damme Canal in Belgium, rendered with a very modern sense of perspective, seems to vibrate with colour and life.

  René Magritte, L'Empire de la réflexion. Estimate: £300,000–400,000.

  Within L'Empire de la réflexion, René Magritte subverts the viewer's expectations by challenging the way in which we perceive the world around us. In place of the position habitually occupied by the moon hovers the earth, our entire world reduced to a serene microcosm floating within the sky. Magritte himself wrote of this work that: "in the sky a large mirror sends back to us the image of the earth"(David Sylvester (ed.), Sarah Whitfield & Michael Raeburn, René Magritte, Catalogue Raisonné, London, 1994, vol. IV, p. 94).

  Léopold Survage, Nature morte. Estimate: £25,000–35,000.

  In Nature morte from 1925, Léopold Survage plays with colour and layering techniques – the central fruit appears to burst from within the canvas in this post-cubist still life.
