René François Ghislain Magritte French: 21 November 1898–15 August 1967 was a Belgian Surrealist artist.
He became well known for creating a number of witty and thought-provoking images. Often depicting ordinary objects in an unusual context, his work is known for challenging observers’ preconditioned perceptions of reality. His imagery has influenced pop art, minimalist art and conceptual art.
To be a surrealist… means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been. ~Rene Magritte.
