With an eye to its stalwart purveyor Magritte, is this collection. This curation of works sees hallmarks of the French painter refreshed by a cohort of diverse contemporary artists. Here you\u2019ll find vertiginous perpetual antics, figures in cerebral landscapes, and that surreal humour of a light touch and lingering effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
