Collection: René Magritte

René Magritte (Belgian 1898–1967) was a Belgian Surrealist artist best known for his witty and thought-provoking imagery that challenges perceptions of reality. Using a precise, realistic painting style, Magritte created fantastical scenes filled with paradoxes, often juxtaposing ordinary objects in unexpected ways—such as a man with his face obscured by an apple (The Son of Man). His work explores themes of identity, illusion, and language, making him one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art. Magritte's legacy continues to inspire artists, filmmakers, and philosophers alike.
