Rene
Francois Ghislain Magritte was a Belgian surrealist
painter, born in Lessines. He studied at the Academie
Royale des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. His first one-man exhibition
was in Brussels in 1927. At that time Magritte had already
begun to paint in the style, closely akin to surrealism,
that was predominant.
"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing;
they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my
pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What
does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery
means nothing either, it is unknowable."
