Magritte was on the verge of separating from both the French and Belgian surrealist groups and developing his own art theory. This paper focuses on the causes of this transition, as well as identifying its main characteristics in 'La Réproduction Interdite'. These characteristics consist of external factors, which include the influences of the surrealist groups and the work's patron, Edward James, on the painting, in addition to internal influences, which includes Magritte's recently formulated art theory and new ideas.Show less

François Falc'hun argued for Gaulish influence on Breton at various occasions, but I showed that his argumentation is not very convincing.Show less
