René Magritte. The Menaced Assassin. 1927. Oil on canvas, 59 1/4" x 6' 4 7/8" (150.4 x 195.2 cm). Kay Sage Tanguy Fund

When Magritte painted The Menaced Assassin in 1927, he was equally inspired by popular crime fiction and, like his Surrealist colleagues, the mysteries of the unconscious mind. Join us as we try to get to the bottom of this puzzle. It may be unsolvable, but Magritte wanted the viewer to play detective.

This session is led by Petra Pankow.

Join us for lively conversations and engaging activities, facilitated by Museum educators, that offer insightful and unusual ways to engage with MoMA’s collection and special exhibitions.

Gallery Sessions are free for members and Museum admission ticket holders. No registration is required. Groups meet in the Marron Atrium, Floor 2.

FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.

This event is part of Gallery Sessions.
