From the MoMA:
René Magritte (1898–1967) was a Belgian Surrealist painter known for his witty and thought-provoking images that challenged perceptions of reality by placing familiar objects in unusual contexts. The MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) holds several of his works and has documented his career, noting his simple, realist style combined with a rich, inventive inner world. Magritte's art is characterized by its enigmatic nature, paradoxical juxtapositions, and the playful way he manipulated scale and meaning, influencing Pop Art and leaving a lasting mark on the art world.
