After working designer wallpaper and commercial artist. Magritte's early works were performed in the style of Cubism and Futurism influenced by Fernand Leger. In 1922 Magritte married Georgette Berger, whom he met in fifteen years. After the wedding, she was the only model for his paintings. Understanding the metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico and poetry Dadaistic was an important turning point for creativity Magritte. In 1925, Magritte is a group of Dadaists, works in the magazines "Aesophage" and "Marie" with Jean Arp, Picabia, Tzara and other Dadaists. In 1925-1926 Magritte wrote "Oasis" and "Lost Jockey" - his first surrealist paintings. In 1927-1930 Magritte lived in France, participated in the activities of the Surrealists, close friends with Max Ernst, Dali, André Breton, Luis Buñuel, and especially with Paul Eluard. In Paris, Magritte's system of conceptual painting was finally formed and remained almost unchanged until the end of his life. In the pictures of the artist's ever-present sense of tension and mystery ( "Companions of Fear," 1942; "Explanation," 1954; "Bouquet of Tears", 1948). Strange night landscape gleams under-lit daylight sky ( "Empire of Light", 1954). Magritte masterfully created a contrast between the beautifully written out odd combinations of unreal objects and the natural environment, to this end he has used in his canvases symbols of mirrors, eyes, the windows ( "False Mirror," 1935; "The key to space," 1936; "Beautiful World" , 1962). Magritte's passion for philosophy and literature is reflected in many of his paintings, for example. "Gigantessa" (on Baudelaire), 1929-1930, "Field Arnheym" (by Edgar Poe), 1938. In 1940 Magritte tried to change his style of painting. But the so-called periods of "plein-soleil" in 1945-1947 and "epoque vache" in 1947-1948 were not any effective and the artist returned to his manner of writing. In 1950 Magritte executed two cycles of frescoes: "The space of charm" for the casino Knokke-le-Zut (1953) and "ignorant fairy" (1957) for the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Charleroi. Rene Magritte died on Aug. 15, 1967 in Brussels from cancer at the age of 69 years.

To be honest philosophical questions of Kabbalah is not my forte, just started studying, I think in 2-3 months see what's what.

Eugene, if you still do not engage in serious study of any philosophical and religious teachings (Buddhism, Zen, Tao, Yoga, Sufism, dzogchen ...), then I'm afraid, for 2-3 months understanding will be impossible. It must feel, but to experience the need to do spiritual practices, and this people go whole life. Believe experience - 15-20 years - a minimum period of serious spiritual practice sessions before the person begins to understand what's what in this life. Stress - only starts to understand. And this is no exception (well, almost no).

Of course, Constantine in his reasoning all greatly simplified, but it is clear that in a short message to explain the essence of the device of the universe is not easy. Although it is possible. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali occupy the volume of text, page four, and in them - everything. But their full translation from Sanskrit no.

Although, perhaps, in this case, the Yoga Sutras - the wrong example. Yoga Sutras - a technology, methods to achieve awareness. To understand the essence of things is more suitable texts. The best - "The precious treasure Dharmadhatu" Longchenpa Rabjam. This Dzogchen. But to understand it - in order to come to an understanding - I'm afraid 15 years of practice - this is a minimum.

Nik, In my life I've studied a lot of that, further reading, try to understand.
Guru of course on all matters will not, it is understandable .. but some things that interest me personally, I will try to clarify for themselves.

[Konstantin]

Equal with Magritte - is strong.
Overall this is probably - mystery. In my case, the mystery is loading. I would describe his paintings of this content as talismans or amulets.
For instance, this - in translation from the 1820 "protection from evil forces", and the translation of 2000, "Protection from negative energies."

And the most difficult thing is to advise where to begin to study Kabbalah.
Would suggest that the book itself you will find the right time. Kabbalah advised to study after 40 years, had not exactly understood.
I started with books Iyagudy Berg (very easy), then Michael Laitman (harder). And both of them in Israel are considered profane. There are many very fat books with crazy terminology (only its not easy to learn). I could not.
If you are interested in Spiritual start with Vadim Zealand Transerfing. And they also can and finish.

Since the post I was curious to learn from other examples of the forum "mystical" or "Esoteric" painting.

Speaking of the "esoteric" painting, before talking about the surrealist, it is essential to mention Giorgio de Chirico, who called his painting "metaphysical".
You will not want to repeat it - a great, very great artist - everybody knows it. But with his work involves a lot of strange, inexplicable - or at least, unexplained - phenomena.
One case: shortly before the First World War, he painted a portrait of Guillaume Apollinaire's with a wound on his temple. A few months later Apollinaire was called, went to the front and soon received a wound in his temple, exactly where it was wound on the portrait of de Chirico (Apollinaire until the end of life raged for a de Chirico).
After the formation of the group, the Surrealists tried hard to lure him, but de Chirico, a confirmed loner and a little (or even not so little) megaloman, resolutely refused, and he belonged to several surrealist derisively and condescendingly.

According to Orthodox tradition "Holy Face" nothing to do with what Veronica does not. A is related to the king!

In such a subject as possible without the "Mona Lisa"?

Another mystery of Leonardo. Who does not know the painting of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa, also known as" La Gioconda. " For five hundred years, the Mona Lisa mystery excites the minds of art historians, historians, scholars and amateurs of art. It turns out that her mysterious smile indicates that she is happy at 83%, this is the

conclusion was reached recently, scientists from the University of Amsterdam, ie front of us almost a happy man. But why is this woman feels happy, and why Leonardo did not part with the portrait to his death, scholars are silent about this. If Leonardo was alive, we may have learned the secret of the picture, but today we can only do their assumptions and speculate on those facts which history has left us, but the facts are.

Researchers from Italy, Giuseppe Palano after a 25-year study of archival documents could accurately identify the women who served as a model of a great artist. Mysterious person named Lisa Gerardini. She was the third wife of a prosperous silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo and mother of five children. Mona Lisa del Giocondo was 24 years old when 51-year-old Leonardo began to create her portrait. Portrait painted in 1502-m or 1503-m. According to church records, Lisa gave birth to her second child in December 1502-th.

Professor Martin Kemp, the largest specialist on the works of da Vinci, I am sure that between the portrait of Mona Lisa and one of the anatomical drawings of the artist is a direct connection. This sketch, as if the image Mona Lisa "from within". That Leonardo was the first who drew the fetus inside the mother, and, in contrast to the views of his time, believed that in the conception of the child involved both male and female cells. Because Mona Lisa, he painted a pregnant woman, making a simple portrait of a symbol of motherhood and fertility. The state of the Mona Lisa, experts believe, point and its swollen fingers and hand position.

This version adheres to the author of this article. Supplementing the information to their observation, made in one of the specialized maternity hospitals of Moscow, where I had at one time present at the testing of the stimulator of labor activity. The future mother, about the same age as Lisa Gerardini at the beginning of the great master of her portrait, was already the tenth month of pregnancy. For all her dates have long had to bear, but no impulses in the fight it was not all doctors, including professors, associate professors, and "swirling" around her from morning to evening. Despite all the excitement of doctors and nursing mothers was absolutely calm. Her movements were slower and smooth and I felt as if the next nuclear bomb exploded, even then it remained perfectly calm. But the most striking was her face, it almost exactly coincides with my point of view, with the face of Mona Lisa. When I saw her, she sat in her chair, folded his hands on his knees, flowing straight hair, gently falling down from her shoulders and parted in the middle of the head, with a perfectly calm tranquil look small brown eyes, staring off somewhere inside myself, I still long time could not come from a feeling that revealed the mystery "Mona Lisa". Gioconda, too, was pregnant, this is the first thought that came to my head. Here's a story that happened to me in the late 70-ies of the last century and only now I am ready to share with her in connection with the writing of this article.

Another confirmation of our hypothesis is obtained from the Canadian and French scientists. Recent studies have pictures using Canadian technology of laser scanning three-dimensional images showed that the Mona Lisa is cloaked in a barely noticeable transparent veil. This detail paintings not previously been able to discern, because the background looked too dark. In Italy, the sixteenth century, these blankets could be pregnant or have just given birth to a woman. According to scientists, the portrait has been dated to the birth of second son of the Mona Lisa and, thus, can more accurately establish the date of creation of a masterpiece - about 1503.

I myself have not seen, it would be interesting to hear from eyewitnesses: What picture?
