René Magritte was a Belgian surrealist who filled his paintings with familiar objects placed in unfamiliar, dreamlike situations. His calm, precise style makes the strange seem ordinary, inviting viewers to question what is real and what is constructed. His imagery has influenced everything from album covers to advertising and remains instantly recognizable today.
