A Belgian surrealist painter, Rene Magritte’s witty and thought-provoking paintings sought to have viewers question their perceptions of reality, and

become hypersensitive to the world around them. Magritte’s mother was a suicidal woman, which led her husband, Magritte’s father, to lock her up in

her room. One day, she escaped, and was found down a nearby river dead, having drowned herself. According to legend, 13 year old Magritte was there

when they retrieved the body from the river. As she was pulled from the water, her dress covered her face. This later became a theme in many of

Magritte’s paintings in the 1920’s, portraying people with cloth covering their faces.

Through creating common images and placing them in extreme contexts, Magritte sough to have his viewers question the ability of art to truly represent

an object. In his paintings, he often played with the perception of an image and the fact that the painting of the image could never actually be the

object. His artistic interpretations influenced many modern artists, including Andy Warhol, Jan Verdoodt and Jasper Johns. His art, which was

especially popular during the 1960’s, has also influenced numerous songs, movies, and books.
