Rene Magritte (Belgian, 1898-1967) was a painter whose imaginative style has been a major influence on a number of later art movements, including Pop Art and minimalism. Magritte's work typically shows mundane objects in an unusual, often sparse context, giving them a dreamlike and fantastical quality. The artistic legacy of Rene Magritte lives on today through direct tributes in music, film, theatre, and so much more.
