René Magritte

René Magritte was a Belgian artist known for his Surrealist paintings that challenge the viewer's perception of reality. He often depicted ordinary objects in unusual or unexpected ways, and his art frequently played with the relationship between language and image. Magritte's work was characterised by its meticulous attention to detail, its use of humour and irony, and its subversion of conventional artistic norms. He is considered one of the most significant figures of the Surrealist movement and his influence can be seen in contemporary art and popular culture.
