René Magritte

Magritte was the leading Belgian Surrealist, known for paintings of ordinary objects in impossible situations that question the relationship between images and reality. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he lived quietly in Brussels, painting in a deliberately conventional realistic style to make his conceptual disruptions more unsettling.
