About René Magritte
1898-1967
"An image is not to be confused with something tangible. Can you stuff my pipe? No, it is just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture ‘This is a pipe’, I’d have been lying! The image of a slice of bread and jam slice is assuredly not edible" said the Belgian artist René Magritte, one of the best-known representatives of Surrealism, about his art.
His paintings have an inherent dreamy mysteriousness, although they mostly depict everyday objects. Magritte drew on a personal stock of recurring subjects such as the apple, the pipe, the bowler, the curtain, the dove and the blue sky with white clouds.
The field of graphic arts, that includes artistic representations, which are reproduced by various printing techniques.
Printmaking techniques include woodcuts, copperplate engraving, etching, lithography, serigraphy, among others.
A movement in contemporary art that developed in Europe and America. Following the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud, it seeks the actual reality in the subconscious. Surrealism exploits dreams and intoxicating experiences, as well as hypnotic states as a source of artistic inspiration.
Famous artists and sculptors of this movement are Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Giorgio de Chirico, Yves Tanguy, Joan Miró and René Magritte.
