The Belgian painter Rene Magritte is one of my favorite artists. So it’s not surprising that on a recent visit to Brussels the Magritte Museum was my first stop. Magritte is primarily known as a surrealist and is considered one of the founding fathers of that movement in art. His paintings often portray everyday objects in a not-so-everyday context. In this museum you will find a few different styles that Magritte explored. He painted portraits (we all have to make a living right?), some impressionist-like pieces, and during the Nazi occupation of Brussels, adopted a more colorful style without his customary surreal elements. These images of Magritte’s works from the museum are presented in chronological order to show how he evolved as an artist. (ce ne sont pas des peintures de Magritte.)























I have seen a few Magritte paintings (well, not a real painting 😊), but to have so many on one page, and in chronological order is a great way to appreciate his work. I think he had a sense of humour too. Maggie

I can see why his work is a favorite. Thanks for putting the items in chronological order. To see him stay so creative, so relevant, so sharp and imaginative over a span of at least 46 years (1921-67) is wonderfully impressive.
