FINE ARTS (Art) This Belgian artist was rarely seen without his trademark bowler hat, a piece he commonly featured in works such as The Pilgrim and Golconda, the latter of which features a number of men seemingly falling as droplets of rain. The bowler is also featured in The Son of Man, in which the face of the subject is obscured by a floating green apple. Who is this Surrealist who also painted a locomotive emerging from a fireplace in Time Transfixed? The answer will be found on the

slide after DRESS CODE CHECK!
