Who is the Surrealist artist Apple Man?
1 Answer
The Surrealist artist Apple Man is René Magritte. Some people refer to him by the nickname “Apple Man” because many of his artworks depict people with apple heads. Repetition was an important strategy for Magritte, informing not only his handling of motifs within individual pictures but also leading him to produce multiple copies of some of his greatest works. His interest in the idea may have come in part from Freudian psychoanalysis, for which repetition is a sign of trauma. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of René Magritte art.
