RENÉ MAGRITTE (1898-1967) Belgian surrealist artist who is well known for his thought-provoking images that take the perceptions of painting into another realm of reality. As synonymous with Surrealism as Picasso with Cubism, Magritte’s work frequently displays a collection of ordinary objects in unusual contexts, henceforth, creating an illusion of new meanings for familiar objects. As stated by Magritte [in regard to his paintings]: “visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, what does that mean?” Because of his unparalleled talent, Magritte’s work has been exhibited throughout the world and today, remains of the most widely collected surrealist artist of his time.

"Les valeurs personnelles (Personal Values), " Lithograph after Rene Magritte
By René Magritte
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Les valeurs personnelles (Personal Values)" is a color lithograph after the original 1952 painting by Rene Magritte. This interior scene has objects of various sizes.

He is one of the most important surrealist artists. Through his art, Magritte creates humor and mystery with juxtapositions and shocking irregularities. Some of his hallmark motifs include the bourgeois “little man,” bowler hats, apples, hidden faces, and contradictory texts. René Magritte’s father was a tailor and his mother was a miller.

Magritte studied at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts from 1916 to 1918. After graduating he worked as a wallpaper designer and in advertisement. It was during this period that he married Georgette Berger, whom he had known since they were teenagers. In 1926, René Magritte signed...
