마그리트 작품전을 기획하면서
저희는 마그리트의 1935년 
작품 를 검수했습니다
일상적으로 하는 보존 작업 덕분에
작품의 흥미로운 점을
발견하게 될 줄은 몰랐죠
작품을 액자에서 떼어 냈을 때부터
뭔가 심상치 않음을 느꼈습니다
물감이 그림의 바깥쪽까지
네 쪽 모두에 전부 
칠해져 있었기 때문입니다
마그리트의 작품으로서는
의외였는데
왜냐하면 일반적으로
하얀 물감으로 
밑칠해 놓았기 때문입니다
우리는 사진 작업실로 가서
평소의 검수 작업을 계속했습니다
자외선을 쬐었더니
점차 변색이 일어나는 것이
보였습니다
표면에 칠해져 있던 니스 때문인지
아니면 이면에 
뭔가가 있어서
일어나는 것인지가 
확실하지 않았습니다
세정 작업을 하면서
용제형 용액으로 니스를
제거했습니다
그러고 나서 다시

Czech: 
Když jsme připravovali Magrittovu výstavu
začali jsme zkoumat obraz Portrét [The Portrait]
z roku 1935. Co začalo jako rutinní
restaurátorská práce
odhlalilo několik velmi zajimavých detailů
o Magrittově obrazu.
Ve chvíli, kdy jsme sundali rám obrazu,
jsme si všimli něčeho neobvyklého.
Barvy byly rozetřeny až k okrajům plátna.
To je pro Magritta něco neobvyklého,
protože normálně můžete vidět základní
bílý nátěr okolo okrajů.
Začali jsme s naším obvyklým
výzkumným postupem,
což zahrnuje návštěvu obrazu
ve fotografickém studiu.
Pod ultrafialový světlem jsem si všimla,
nějakého neurčitého zabarvení.
Nebylo jasné jestli to bylo kvůli
přítomnému laku
nebo kvůli něčemu co bylo pod povrchem.
Jak jsem postupovala s čištěním
použila jsem roztok na bázi 
rozpouštědla, abych odstranila lak
a jakmile to bylo dokončeno

English: 
- In preparation for
the Magritte exhibition,
we began examining The
Portrait, from 1935.
What started as a fairly
routine conservation treatment
uncovered some very interesting details
about Magritte's painting.
As soon as we unframed The Portrait,
we noticed something unusual.
The paint actually went around the edges,
and it was painted on all four sides.
That was unusual for Magritte,
because normally, you can see
the white, priming layer on all the edges.
- We began with our normal
examination process,
which involves taking the
painting into the photo studio.
In ultraviolet, I noticed that there was
some sort of discoloration
that was occurring,
that it wasn't clear if
it was in the varnish
that was present,
or something coming from
beneath the surface.
Proceeding with the cleaning,
I used a solvent-based
solution to remove the varnish,
and once that was complete,

Czech: 
vzala jsem obraz zpátky do
fotografického studia.
I poté jsem viděla neobvyklé zabarvení,
ale tentokrát ještě výrazněji.
To, co se dělo, bylo,
že něco pod povrchem fluoreskovalo jinak,
než zbytek vrchní vrstvy.
V temné komoře jsem proti světlu
zkoumala rentgenové snímky,
ale dívala jsem se na jednotlivé
fragmenty zvlášť.
Celé to vypadalo velmi podivně.
Vypadalo to, jako by bylo ještě něco
dalšího pod láhví,
něco dalšího pod talířem,
něco dalšího pod sklenicí, ale
bez možnosti zkoumat všechny části
dohromady, jsem to nemohla vyřešit.
Vypadalo to jako série zmatených
tahů štětcem.
Dokonce jsem snímky otočila
a strávila před nimi půl hodiny
sezením na zemi,
prstem jsem obtahovala obrysy,
až jsem byla schopna říct co je za nimi.
Pohybovala jsem se čím dál blíž
a nechala snímky překrývat,
a potom jsem pod tím
viděla siluetu nahé ženy.
Byla jsem šokovaná a ihned jsem
běžela pro svůj telefon abych to vyfotila
a poslala svým kolegům, aby se tato
zpráva dostala do světa co nejdřív.

English: 
again took the painting
back into the photo studio.
I could still see that form underneath,
but it was even more robust.
What was happening, is,
something underneath was
fluorescing differently
than the upper paint layer.
In the darkroom, I held each x-ray film
up to the light box,
but you can only see one film at a time,
and it looked very unusual.
It looked like there was something else
underneath the bottle,
something else underneath the plate,
something else underneath the glass.
But without having them all together,
I couldn't make it out,
and it just looked like a series
of confusing brush strokes.
I actually rotated the x-ray
to the left, 90 degrees.
I spent about a half an hour
sitting on the floor in front of it,
tracing my finger long it until I could
make out the form underneath.
I moved them closer and
closer and let them overlap,
and I could see the outline
of a nude woman beneath.
I was shocked and
immediately got out my phone
and took pictures and texted my colleagues
to get the word out as fast as possible.

Korean: 
사진 작업실로 
작품을 가져갔습니다
여전히 변색된 부분이 보였고
오히려 더 선명하게 보였습니다
그러니까 그림 이면에 있던
무언가가 표면의 물감과는 다른
고유한 색을 내고 
있던 것이었습니다
암실에서 한 장씩 엑스레이를
찍어서 보았습니다
한 번에 필름 하나씩 밖에
보지 못했습니다
분명 특이한 점이 있었습니다
거기에 무언가가
병 밑에 무언가가
접시 밑에도 무언가가
유리잔 밑에도 있는 듯했습니다
그렇지만 한데 모으지 않고서는
저는 알아낼 수 없을 것이었습니다
마치 혼란스럽게
휘갈긴 붓자국 같았습니다
이번엔 엑스레이 필름 자체를
왼쪽으로 90도 회전시켜서 보았습니다
그림 앞에 30분 정도
바닥에 앉아 있다가
선을 따라 제 손가락을
움직였습니다
그랬더니 이면에 감춰진
형체를 알 수 있었습니다
엑스레이 필름을 더 가깝게 
움직여 겹치자
이면에 감춰져 있던 옷을 벗은
여인의 형체가 보였습니다
저는 대단히 놀랐고 휴대폰으로
사진을 찍고 동료에게
문자를 보냈습니다
되도록 빨리 소식을 
전하고 싶었습니다

English: 
- After seeing this
incredible image emerge
from underneath the portrait,
we were immediately wanting
to know what the source was.
One of my colleagues
from the Menil Collection
happened to be here and see it,
and suggested a painting that was actually
done by Magritte in 1927,
and was thought to be lost.
This work under The
Portrait actually matched
a quarter of a section
of The Enchanted Pose,
which was a much larger painting.
Now, we believe that he must
have cut up the painting
into four sections and
re-used the sections
for paintings in 1935.
- I've been working at MoMA
for a little over five years now,
and been fortunate enough to help with
a lot of x-radiography
that is performed here,
but this was a first for me,
and probably the
opportunity of a lifetime.

Korean: 
의 이면에 감춰져 있던
믿기 힘든 그림을 보자마자
우리는 그 그림이 어디서 
온 것인지 궁금해졌습니다
메닐 콜렉션에서 일하는 
동료 중 한 명이
이곳에 올 일이 있었고
아마도 마그리트의 잃어버린 것으로
여겨지는 1927년 작품이지
않았을까라고
추측했습니다
그 초상화 아래에 있는 이 작품은
훨씬 큰 그림은 "The Enchanted Pose"의
1/4부분과
일치했습니다
우리는 마그리트가 그 작품을
4등분하여 나누고 1935년 작품인
를 그릴 때 캔버스를
재사용했다고 생각하고 있습니다
저는 뉴욕현대미술관에서
5년 조금 넘게 일했고
그동안 엑스레이 사진술로
도움을 줄 수 있어 기뻤습니다
하지만 이번 발견은 저에게
처음이나 다름없는
아마도 일생 일대의 발견이
아닌가 생각합니다

Czech: 
Poté co se tento neuvěřitelný obraz
vynořil pod vrstvou Portrétu [The Portrait],
chtěli jsme ihned znát
jeho původ.
Jeden můj kolega z Menilovy sbírky
byl zrovna přítomen
a prohlásil, že by se mohlo jednat 
o Maggritův obraz,
který byl považován za ztracený.
Dílo pod Portrétem [The Portrait] se
shodovalo s popisem části obrazu
The Enchanted Pose, což byl mnohem
větší obraz.
Myslíme si, že Magritte musel obraz
rozříznou na několik částí,
a plátna následně znovu použil
pro další obrazy.
Pracuji v Muzeu moderního umění již
pět let
a mám to štěstí, že mohu
pracovat na na spoustě
rentgenových snímků, které
tu provádíme.
Ale toto bylo poprvé
a pravděpopobně to byla má
životní příležitost.
