René Magritte | Conservation of "The Portrait"

MoMA conservators study and treat Rene Magritte’s “The Portrait” in advance of the exhibition, "Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926-1938.” Stubborn discoloration in ultraviolet rays prompts further study and reveals the outline of another painting, previously thought to be missing.
