René Magritte was a Belgian surrealist artist born in Lessines in 1898. He started creating art at a young age and became interested in surrealist art while living in Brussels in the 1920s. Magritte's work is characterized by his use of ordinary objects in unexpected contexts, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue in his art.
He is best known for his paintings of everyday objects such as pipes, apples, and bowler hats, often placed in unusual settings or juxtaposed with other objects. Magritte's work has been praised for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to challenge viewers' perceptions of reality. He married Georgette Berger in 1922 and made friends with Andre Breton, Paul Eluard, Hans Harp, Joan Miro and Salvador Dali of the Parisian Surrealist group.
Despite experiencing personal tragedy throughout his life, including the suicide of his mother and the premature death of his wife, Magritte continued to create art that captivated audiences worldwide. Today, he is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century and his work continues to inspire new generations of artists and thinkers.
The Magritte Museum which opened in Brussels in 2009 holds over 200 of Magritte’s paintings, drawings and sculptures, well worth a visit.
