Rene Magritte (1898 - 1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images that fall under the umbrella of surrealism. His work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality.

Major works and painting style:Magritte wished to cultivate an approach that avoided the stylistic distractions of most modern painting. His interest in the idea come in part from Freudian psychoanalysis, his work in commercial art played a role to question the conventional modernist belief in the unique, original work of art.

The Son of Man:Magritte painted it as a self-portrait.The man's face is largely obscured by a hovering green apple. However, the man's eyes can be seen peeking over the edge of the apple.

Empire of Light:The Empire of Light exemplifies the sort of simple paradox that characterizes Magritte's most successful works. Dusk has fallen in the bottom while cheerful white clouds hang in a baby-blue sky.

Evaluation of Rene Magritte:Magritte's work had a major impact on movements including Pop, Conceptualism, and painting of the 1980s. His work was hailed as a harbinger of upcoming trends in art for its emphasis on concept over execution, its close association with commercial art, and its focus on everyday objects.
