Rene Magritte’s pieces were part of the Surrealism movement. The surrealism art movement began in 1924 and ended in 1966. The movement began with art by Dali. Surrealism was considered a literary and artistic moment. It was based on an Enlightenment idea that idealized reason and individualism. Its main purpose was to show one's thoughts and experiences. It was also based on thoughts from the unconscious mind also known as dreams which was the main source of artistic creativity. Some famous paintings from the surrealism include The Persistence of Memory, Guernica, The Lovers, and Philosophers Lamp. (These are some of the paintings) Rene Magritte was born in Belgium in 1898. He grew up with his brother and his grandmother after his parents committed suicide. His ideas stemmed from the fact that he found tragedy in films that were portrayed in his paintings. He was in the Belgian army and then moved onto other work. His art career began when he started working at a commercial advertising company where he began working and experimenting painting. He then moved to study art at Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts. He originally was inspired by the juxtaposition of different things in pieces. For the next two years he continued practicing the juxtaposition of elements in his art until he became a professional artist. His surrealist movements were influenced by Chirico's paintings. His art was influenced by dreams and exaggerated objects that were out of the ordinary. He painted his hallucinations and thoughts. One of Rene Magritte’s paintings is The Son of Man. The Son of Man is a surrealist painting that displays a man and a green apple covering his face. Magritte made this as a self portrait. Another one of Rene Magritte’s paintings is The Lovers. It is a painting of two people kissing with sheets over their faces. The painting portrays the two people being blinded by the cloth while they’re kissing. Bibliography.
