A pair of robust thighs serves as an elegant base. From inside this form rises a taller and more slender lower torso. Finally, an almost full-length torso rests within the first two pieces. Because the work is made of extremely thin bronze, the viewer can actually peek inside these forms. Throughout his career, René Magritte often revisited and revised his own imagery. This sculpture's motif is taken from a painting of the same title he created in 1962. Best known as a painter, Magritte's decision to produce sculpture toward the end of his life grew out of a conversation with his dealer Alexandre Iolas. Iolas suggested that Magritte produce a suite of sculpture based on his vast catalogue of paintings. Magritte selected images from eight paintings to be recreated as three-dimensional objects. For each sculpture, Magritte made a series of careful sketches that became the basis for wax casts. Though he died before the sculptures were cast in bronze, Magritte made several significant adjustments to the wax models and signed them when he visited the foundry in Verona, Italy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSource Object:\u003cbr\u003e Title: \u003cem\u003eLa Folie Des Grandeurs (Delusion of Grandeur)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Artist\/Maker: René Magritte (Belgian, 1898 - 1967) \u003cbr\u003eCulture: Belgian \u003cbr\u003eDate: 1967 \u003cbr\u003eMedium: Bronze \u003cbr\u003eObject Number: 2005.112 \u003cbr\u003eDimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e152.4 × 121.9 × 83.8 cm, 242.6744 kg (60 × 48 × 33 in., 535 lb.) \u003cbr\u003e© C.
