This lithographic work comes from a painting made by the artist in 1938, it is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago in the United States.
In 1936 Magritte exhibited at the International Surrealism Exhibition. Edward James was impressed and invited him to make works for his residence in London. La durée poignardée also known as Time Transfixed is one of them.
Magritte designed the work for the stairs of the patron"s house, expecting that everyone who took them on the way to the ballroom would be stabbed by the work. The durée poignardée means the time in progress in which a dagger stabs. Ironically James installed it over the fireplace.
