René François Ghislain Magritte was the Belgian surrealist who had the greatest influence on the painting of his country in the 20th century.
His images, unlike those of other surrealists, were not 100% inspired by dreams, but rather Magritte distilled reality by extracting its essence, resulting in images that are both absolutely surprising and ingenious, and at the same time, questioning that very reality.
Magritte was, so to speak, a very conceptual surrealist deeply interested in the ambiguity of images, words, and in exploring the strange relationship between the painted and the real. To do this, he explores the magic in everyday life.
Influenced by Giorgio de Chirico, he begins to paint mysterious landscapes with hidden meanings, silence, and a great sense of humor. For him, reality is an illusion, a trap so to speak, and throughout his career, he explores the real space versus the illusion of space, which is the painting itself.
Very independent, he kept away from Breton's militant and dogmatic surrealism, and despite the subversive nature of many of his paintings, he led a quiet and bourgeois life between Paris and his native Belgium. The life of a middle-class Belgian and his routine daily activities were, in a way, his greatest inspiration for painting his extraordinary works.
