How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
The Magritte Invasion Print captures the essence of Belgian surrealism through its exploration of the human form and its relationship with the natural world. Originally painted in 1938, this work by Rene Magritte demonstrates his fascination with the concept of the ‘body-sky,’ where the physical boundaries of a subject are replaced by the infinite cerulean of the atmosphere. The composition features a female figure standing against a large rock, her skin transitioning from warm, natural tones at the hips to a vibrant blue that matches the coastal horizon. This visual subversion of reality is a hallmark of Magritte’s mid-career output, making it a vital addition for collectors of surrealist imagery.
Historical Significance of the Magritte Invasion Print
As a prominent example of 1938 surrealist wall art, this piece reflects the intellectual movements occurring in Europe prior to the second World War. Magritte often used the female silhouette as a canvas for environmental elements, challenging the viewer to distinguish between the object and the background. The jagged edge of the wall on the right side of the image suggests a domestic interior being overtaken by the vastness of the sea and sky, a theme that reappears throughout his portfolio. This Rene Magritte exhibition poster format allows for a clear appreciation of his precise brushwork and the deliberate placement of shadows along the figure’s torso.
