René
Magritte
René Magritte’s body of work has become part of our collective unconsciousness. His gaze-arresting images continue to go around the world and captivate the imagination of young and old alike. His secret? As the master of Mystery, Magritte manages to turn our perceptions on their head with seeming simplicity. In fact, he thoroughly throws the world in which we live into disarray. In his canvases, items as commonplace as an apple, a glass of water, an umbrella or a bowler hat, suddenly become refreshingly quirky! Magritte teaches us how to see the world around us in a different light.
