Cover of Magritte's Apple by Klaas Verplancke

Join award-winning author and illustrator Klaas Verplancke as he reads from his new children's book for MoMA, Magritte’s Apple. Inspired by the famous Surrealist artist René Magritte, this whimsical book follows a man named René as he dreams of being a painter—of apples and hats, apple hats, apple-these and apple-thats. In his paintings, leaves are lips, baguettes are noses, the right side is never up, and the upside is never down. Everyday objects and words are mashed together in ways that are guaranteed to make kids laugh and think.

After the reading, kids will create their own Magritte-inspired artworks with the author. The story time and activity will be followed by a book signing. Ages 4+

This program is free; space is first come, first seated. For further information, please call (212) 708-9805 or e-mail [email protected]. (Please note this program does not include Museum admission.)
