About this person
René François Ghislain Magritte was born in Belgium on 21 November 1898. He became a surrealist who worked by taking the ordinary - apples, clouds, men in suits - and placing them where they had no business being, in arrangements that made the familiar suddenly strange. The method provoked questions about reality and representation: what an image is, what it shows, whether seeing equals knowing. His influence spread beyond surrealism into pop art, minimalism, and conceptual art. He died on 15 August 1967, leaving behind a body of work that still unsettles the边界 between the real and the depicted.
