(*) René François Ghislain Magritte was the Belgian surrealist who most influenced painting in his country in the 20th century.
His images, unlike other surrealists, were not 100% dream-inspired; rather Magritte distilled reality to its essence, producing, on the one hand, absolutely surprising and ingenious images, and on the other, the very questioning of that reality.
Magritte was, so to speak, a conceptual surrealist deeply interested in the ambiguity of images and words and in exploring the strange relationship between what is painted and what is real. To that end, he explored the magical aspects of everyday life.
Influenced by Giorgio de Chirico, he began to paint mysterious landscapes, with hidden meanings, silence, and much humor. For him, reality is an illusion, a trap so to speak, and throughout his career he explored the real space versus the spatial illusion, which is painting itself.
Very independent, he stayed away from Breton’s militant and dogmatic surrealism, and despite the subversive nature of many of his paintings, he led a calm, bourgeois life between Paris and his native Belgium. The life of a middle-class Belgian and his routine daily activities somewhat inspired him to paint his extraordinary pictures.
