Limb Development

Edited by: Juan Hurlé and Juan C. Izpisúa-Belmonte

Cover Legend

Central motif of a magic realist painting portraying animate, isolated limbs as individuals. This picture entitled "Intermission" (1928) was painted by the Belgian surrealist René Magritte (1898-1967). Oil on canvas. Private collection.
