Rene Magritte (1898 - 1967)

Magritte was a student at Academic Royale des Beaux Arts, in Brussels.  Magritte’s development and contribution to surrealism is directly linked to the DaDa  artists Max Ernst and Giorgio de Chirico. 

Surrealism defines a specific place and is altered through collage to match the artists’ vision.  Magritte’s flat direct style of painting brings a weight and confrontational presence to the viewer.
