Le Viol, as Magritte wrote to André Breton in 1934, emerged out of his continuing desire to demonstrate affinities between related objects, proposing a startling direct visual correlation between a woman’s face and her body: “The breasts are the eyes, the nose is a navel and the vagina replaces the mouth.” The grotesque result recalls Breton’s concept of humour noir, or black comedy. Breton considered the image a key Surrealist work and reproduced it on the cover of the book Qu’est-ce que le surréalisme? (What Is Surrealism?) in 1934. When first displayed publicly in Brussels the same year, the painting was hung in a separate room behind a velvet curtain, alongside other provocative works by Salvador Dalí, Balthus, and Victor Brauner. Later, in 1943, Magritte deliberately omitted it from a monograph to avoid the scrutiny of World War II censors. ~ MoMA
