Acquis auprès de celle-ci par le propriétaire actuel. Né à Anvers en 1920, Marcel Mariën est rapidement devenu l'un des membres les plus prolifiques du mouvement Surréaliste belge.Mariën a découvert le surréalisme en 1935 à travers deux peintures de son compatriote belge René Magritte lors d'une exposition d'art contemporain organisée au centre communautaire d'Anvers. Il rencontra Magritte deux ans plus tard en 1937 et rejoignit ensuite le groupe surréaliste dont il était le membre le plus jeune agé de 17 ans seulement. Ce fut cette année qu'il créa et exposa son tout premier objet surréaliste et son travail le plus connu : L'introuvable, une paire de lunettes à un seul verre.Ses travaux jouent avec la norme et la déforment, formant des ponts entre le langage, l'image et l'objet, jouant en concurrence avec la perception de la réalité. Ses expérimentations artistiques à travers différents media sont une preuve de sa polyvalence comme artiste et membre du mouvement.En dehors de sa participation au Surréalisme, Mariën était écrivain, poète et théoricien. Il écrivit la première monographie de René Magritte, publiée en 1943. En 1954 il fonda le magazine Les Lèvres Nues avec Jane Graverol et Paul Nougé et en 1979 il signa le premier livre de référence sur le Surréalisme en Belgique intitulé L'activité surréaliste en Belgique (1924-1950), pour ne nommer que ses publications les plus célèbres.Ses travaux sont conservés dans les institutions artistiques les plus prestigieuses du monde comme la Tate Modern à Londres, le Getty Museum à Los Angeles, le MoMA à New York, et le Musée royal des Beaux-arts à Bruxelles.Born in Antwerp in 1920, Marcel Mariën swiftly became one of the most prolific members of the Belgian Surrealist movement.Mariën discovered Surrealism in 1935 through two paintings by fellow Belgian René Magritte during a contemporary art exhibition organized at the Antwerp community centre. He met Magritte two years later in 1937 and subsequently joined the Surrealist group - he was the youngest member at 17 years old. It was this year that he made and exhibited his very first surrealist object and his most famous work: L'introuvable, a set of single-lens glasses.His works play and distort the accepted norm, creating bridges between language, image and object, all concurrently playing with the viewer's perception of reality. His experimentation with different media is testament to his versatility as an artist and member of the movement.Aside from his involvement with the Surrealists as an artist, Mariën was a writer, poet and theorist. He penned the first monograph of René Magritte, published in 1943; in 1954 he founded the magazine Les Lèvres Nues with Jane Graverol and Paul Nougé and in 1979 he authored the first reference book on Surrealism in Belgium titled L'activité surréaliste en Belgique (1924-1950), to name just a few.His works are housed in some of the world's most prominent modern art institutions such as Tate Modern in London, The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, MoMa in New York, and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
LEITZ MIKAS (micro ibso) Used to attach a camera to a microscopeGeorge Furst:I have used this microscope attachment a great deal over the years. In your picture it is upside down and is best used with a microscope that has a tri ocular head. The photo microscopy attachment also may have an internal shutter. The viewing lens allows you to focus the camera body and therefore solve the problem of out of focus pictures. When using one must be careful to swing the prism out of the way when taking the picture. Long exposures are usually dependent on the transmission of light through the microscope. It worked with a remote shutter cable as any movement when pushing the on camera shutter button could cause vibration and affect the final pictures after using it.
