		Magritte was born in 1898 in the small town of Lessines, a cosmopolitan area of Belgium that was greatly influenced by the French.

		Though he was a prodigiously talented draftsman, René Magritte was in essence a cerebral painter; his canvases served as vehicles for the translation of abstract ideas into visual form.
		Magritte was born in 1898, in Lessines, Belgium, a region whose dreary landscape and leaden sky may well have influenced his flat, moody style.
		Magritte painted in the chasm between our vision of the world and the world itself, between our attempts to rationalize every phenomenon, and the absurdity that continues to pervade life despite all efforts to suppress it.

	Magritte
		The paintings of René Magritte (1898-1967), often mysterious and full of fascinating ambiguities, are, nonetheless, highly accessible.
		Magritte had a collection of such techniques which he used in different variations to create his surreal effects, effects meant, of course, to refocus the viewer's attention on the nature and relationships of the images displayed.
		Magritte's paintings are calculated; they sublimate emotional content almost to the point of total absence.

	A Biography of Rene Magritte
		ene Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium, on 21 November 1898.
		The work contains element from the iconography that Magritte created at the time and which he used throughout his life: the painting within a painting, the bird in flight, and fire, adding to the stage curtain and to the wooden bilbioquet.
		Rather than falling into repetitive indifference, he devoted himself to particularly evident in The dominion of Light (1949), an evocation of the simultaneous presence of day and night, a magnetization of the contradictions dear to the Surrealists.

	Magritte
		At that time Magritte had already begun to paint in the style, closely akin to surrealism, that was predominant throughout his long career.
		In addition to fantastic elements, he displayed a mordant wit, creating surrealist versions of famous paintings, as in Madame Récamier de David, in which an elaborate coffin is substituted for the reclining woman in the famous portrait by Jacques Louis David.
		Magritte's work was first shown in the United States in New York City in 1936 and again in that city in two retrospectives, one at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965 (U.S. tour, 1966), and the other at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992.

	DAYBREAK - upcoming bay area art events
		Every Magritte painting leaves the viewer with a sense of mystery, of not quite nderstanding its complexity, even though most of the objects in the paintings are easily recognized and depicted with such exquisite realism that we are reminded of still lifes by the Dutch and Flemish old masters.
		Magritte painted many versions of this scene: these are two of the most suggestive.

		Hence the fact that classical painting spoke—and spoke constantly—while constituting itself entirely outside language; hence the fact that it rested silently in a discursive space; hence the fact that it provided, beneath itself, a kind of common ground where it could restore the bonds of signs and the image.
		Magritte knits verbal signs and plastic elements together, but without referring them to a prior isotopism.
		He skirts the base of affirmative discourse on which resemblance calmly reposes, and he brings pure similitudes and nonaffirmative verbal statements into play within the instability of a disoriented volume and an unmapped space.

		He often used the window frame as a suggestion of the illusion of our senses, for a painting in itself has been traditionally used as a window on some other world- as if we could look through the flat surface of a canvas to a three dimensional reality.
		By altering the scale of objects in his paintings, Magritte's work gives an immediate sense of surreal absurdity.

		Though full of subconscious upwellings and startling conjunctions of seemingly unrelated objects, Rene Magritte's paintings are not dreamscapes, according to French art critic Meuris.
		Observes Meuris in Magrittian fashion: "Magritte is not a painter, while yet being a great painter." While the paradox of the paintings of burning tubas remains largely unsolved, other images are successfully unraveled and the heavy French intellectual baggage one might expect is avoided.
		Meuris also looks at Magritte's little-known photographs, short films, sculptures and surreal objects in this illuminating, delightfully illustrated volume that reaffirms the artist's stature as it traces the fine line he toes between reality and illusion.
