René
François Ghislain Magritte was born on November 21, 1898,
in Lessines, Belgium. He studied intermittently between
1916 and 1918 at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in
Brussels. Magritte was mainly a Surrealist painter and
in 1927 he was given his first solo exhibition at the
Galerie le Centaure in Brussels.
A meticulous, skillful technician, he is noted for works
that contain an extraordinary juxtaposition of ordinary
objects or an unusual context that gives new meaning to
familiar things. This juxtaposition is frequently termed
magic realism, of which Magritte was the prime exponent.
