René Magritte was a Belgian surrealist artist born in 1898 in Lessines, Hainaut. He is known for his imaginative use of everyday objects in his paintings, which often feature a hint of humor and thought-provoking symbolisms. His works have had a significant impact on the development of modern illustration styles. Magritte attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels from 1916 to 1918, during which time his early works were influenced by Impressionism. He later embraced Futurism and Cubism before settling on the Surrealist style for which he is best known in 1926.
Magritte's works can be found in many major museums around the world, including the Magritte Museum in Brussels, which is dedicated to showcasing the works of Magritte and other Surrealist artists. Other notable museums that feature Magritte's work include the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Magritte's works are highly sought after in the art market
