Price on Application
Rene Magritte was a Belgian surrealist artist, who sought to create work that challenged people’s perceptions of the everyday. He belonged to the Surrealist movement, which began in 1920’s Paris and made its way across the world over several decades. Congruent with the exploration of the unconscious mind, as uncovered in the avant-garde movement, Magritte experimented with portraying the dreamlike state. Working with oil paint on canvas, he painted in an illustrative style. However, his central focus was with the subject of the painting, rather than its realism.
