LITERATURE Duane Michals, A Visit with Magritte, Göttingen 2011, s.p. “If I indulge myself and surrender to memory, I can still feel the knot of excitement that gripped me as I turned the corner into Rue Mimosas, looking for the house of Rene Magritte. It was August, 1965. I was thirty-three years old and about to meet the man whose profound and witty surrealist paintings had contradicted my assumptions about photography.” (Duane Michals)
