Magritte was a Belgian Surrealist.
He was born in Belgium in 1898 and he died in 1967.
He started drawing lessons in 1910. His mother drowned herself in a river two years later, and she was supposedly found washed up with a dress over her face. This was thought to have inspired people in Magritte's art whose faces were obscured. His early paintings were impressionistic, and it 1967 he made his first surrealist paining. He also had ties to the communist party.
I really love your current work and class; you should take pride in it. Your blog gives good information about the artists. You should had your personal perspective on the classic art you post about, that would be interesting. I also enjoy your background. :)
