Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art holds 5 works by René Magritte (1898–1967) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Magritte's Surrealist paintings are conceptually sharp but technically precise — the smooth, illustrational surface of his work is part of the unsettling effect. In person, the scale of his canvases often surprises, as does the quality of the paint application beneath the seamless imagery.
