Rene Magritte was a Belgian
surrealist painter.
He painted in a realistic style. While the objects appear to the viewer to
be recognizable, the composition of those recognizable objects appears fantastic.

Magritte was deeply
interested in the
process of thought,
and his paintings
tend to raise the
awareness of the
viewer to their own
thought processes.

• More often than not, Magritte chose ordinary things from which to construct his works - trees, chairs, tables, doors, windows, shoes, shelves, landscapes, people. He wanted to be understood via these ordinary things, but he also wanted to shock and surprise his viewers.
