Cet ouvrage examine les oeuvres de René Magritte datant de 1925 à 1933. L’auteur considère les oeuvres crées au cours de ces années comme appartenant à deux moments distincts d’un même cheminement critique des relations marchandes. Le premier moment est situé de 1925 à 1927, le second en 1933, au seuil de la découverte d’un processus de formation d’images appelé "objet- réponse". Ces deux périodes sont considérées comme étant basées sur des modes de construction opposés. Les oeuvres datant de la première période sont perçues comme étant le résultat d’une volonté de nier les principes structurels de l’oeuvre "organique". Les oeuvres construites d’après le modèle de T objet- réponse sont, quant à elles, interprétées en tant que tentative de transcender les limites strictement quantitatives et rationelles imposées à tout objet par les rapports marchands. Cette poursuite vers un dépassement de la valeur d’échange s’établit grâce à la construction de liens et d’images qui débordent toutes considérations pratiques. / This essay examines René Magritte’s works from 1925 to 1933. It posits that Magritte’s paintings underwent two distinct stages of resistance to commodity relations, one around 1925-1927, the other starting in 1933 with the development of a work process known as objet-réponse. It suggests that the two stages of resistance to commodity relations were founded on opposite modes of construction. The works dating from the early years are understood as being the result of a constant effort to negate the structural principles of the 'organic’ work of art, while the works dating from 1933, are understood as aiming for the creation of a new value system, one which transcends the rational and quantitative norms imposed by reified society. / Montréal Trigonix inc. 2018

This thesis uses reception theory, as formulated by the late Wolfgang Iser, as well as ideas about interpellation or hailing, to compare and analyze two paintings: The Annunciation (c. 1435) by Roger van der Weyden and Personal Values (1952) by René Magritte. It demonstrates that interpellation and reception are part of the same process, and that reception theory is especially suited to this comparison and analysis-because it allows consideration of ways in which the comparable pictorial structures of both paintings facilitate their intentions. It argues that those intentions are to engage viewers in a dialogue that ultimately is beneficial to both pictures and viewers. Furthermore, based on this shared intent, and on visible structural similarities, it argues that each of the two paintings identifies and receives the other as a picture of the same image-that is, of the Annunciation.
