René Magritte

René Magritte (1898-1967) was a Belgian painter and one of the major figures of Surrealism. His work is characterized by surprising and poetic images that question the perception of reality. Magritte used everyday objects and placed them in unexpected contexts, creating intriguing and paradoxical compositions. Iconic works such as The Treachery of Images Or The Son of Man illustrate his ability to blur the boundaries between reality and imagination. His influence remains strong in contemporary art, particularly in the fields of cinema and advertising.
