      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Son of Man 1964</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Rene Magritte was a Surrealist painter, born in Belgium as the son of a tailor. Magritte’s mother committed suicide when he was only 14 for unknown reasons. A year later, he met his future wife and model for some of his paintings, Georgette Berger. Magritte went on to receive his first artistic training at the Royal Academy of Arts in Burssels from 1916-1918. Magritte initially worked as a commercial artist and even created designs for wallpaper and posters. His early influences were Fernand Leger and his earliest works were based on Cubism and Futurism.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_Untitled1926.jpg" alt="Untitled 1926" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Untitled 1926</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheMenacedAssasin1926.jpg" alt="The Menaced Assassin 1926" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Menaced Assassin 1926</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1925, Magritte became affiliated with the Dada movement, which in turn affected his painting. During this time, he became friends with Man Ray and other Dada artists and worked for the Dada magazines “Marie” and “Aesophage.” In 1926, Magritte painted his first truly Surrealist painting entitled “The Lost Jockey.”</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheLostJockey1926.jpg" alt="The Lost Jockey 1926" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Lost Jockey 1926</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Magritte held his first one-man show in Brussels in 1927, which was not well-received.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_Pleasure1927.jpg" alt="Pleasure 1927" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Pleasure 1927</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">After this, Magritte left for Paris where he stayed until 1930, where he began to work more and more with the Surrealists. He became especially close to Paul Eluard and Max Ernst during these early years.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheLovers1928.jpg" alt="The Lovers 1928" width="auto"></p>

      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_Homesickness.jpg" alt="Homesickness" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Homesickness</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_LeMovementPerpetuel.jpg" alt="Le Movement Perpetual"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Le Movement Perpetual</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheCicerone1947.jpg" alt="The Cicerone 1947" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Cicerone 1947</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">It was while he was in Paris that Magritte formed his trademark style of academically polished paintings with the Surrealist touch. Much in the same way that Dali would paint very clean and realistic portraits and images in some of his paintings, but infused with Surrealistic elements, so would Magritte. These paintings incorporated elements of the unreal, such as a man with a trunk-like nose, or a woman’s face with the female anatomy representing her features. This would be the way that Magritte would continue to paint until his death in 1967.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_CollectiveInvention.jpg" alt="Collective Invention 1934" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Collective Invention 1934</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_ThePleasurePrincipalPortraitOfEdwardJames1934.jpg" alt="The Pleasure Principle, Portrait of Edward James 1937" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Pleasure Principle, Portrait of Edward James 1937</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheRape1945.jpg" alt="The Rape 1945" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Rape 1945</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Also not unlike Dali, Magritte would often incorporate familiar elements within his compositions. Hats, umbrellas and smoking pipes were frequently part of his compositions.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_Hagel'sHOliday1958.jpg" alt="Hagel's Holiday 1958" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Hagel’s Holiday 1958</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheTwoMysteries1966.jpg" alt="The Two Mysteries 1966" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Two Mysteries 1966</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_PresenceOfMind1960.jpg" alt="Presence of Mind 1960" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Presence of Mind 1960</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Bright blue skies with puffy white clouds, birds, and statues, such as the Venus de Milo were also recurring themes throughout his oeuvre. Each of these recurring themes can be interpreted differently, and had significant meaning to Margritte. .</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_L'avenireDesStatues1932.jpg" alt="L'Avenir des Statues 1932" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">L’Avenir des Statues 1932</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_BlackMagic.jpg" alt="Black Magic 1934" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Black Magic 1934</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_Memory1948.jpg" alt="Memory 1948" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Memory 1948</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheLargeFamily.jpg" alt="The Large Family 1963" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Large Family 1963</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_SelfPortrait.jpg" alt="Self-Portrait" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self-Portrait</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Even more curious are his “Treason of Pictures” paintings in which he makes the statement “This is not…,” which was perhaps Magritte’s way of making his viewers look past the painting of the apple or the pipe to see something different.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_ThisIsNotAPipe.jpg" alt="This is Not a Pipe" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">This is Not a Pipe</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In the 1940’s, Magritte made a brief effort to change his style of painting. Following the style of Renoir, Magritte tried his hand at plein-air Impressionistic paintings from 1945-1947.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheFlowersOfEvil1946.jpg" alt="The Flowers of Evil 1946" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Flowers of Evil 1946</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_LePremierJour1943.jpg" alt="Le Premier Jour 1943"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Le Premier Jour 1943</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He also had another change in style from 1947-1948 which he called his “Cow Period” which also did not last. This period was a parody of Fauvism and was an attempt on his part to annoy the French art elite. During this period he created strange, crude paintings, with quick brush strokes. Magritte later showed these, creating something of a scandal, and even won a few admirers on the way. He essentially went back to his original Surrealist style.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_LeContenuPictural1947.jpg" alt="Le Contenu Pictural 1947"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Le Contenu Pictural 1947</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_LaFamine1948.jpg" alt="La Famine 1948"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">La Famine 1948</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In the 1950’s, he was commissioned to create frescos for the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Charleroi, and towards the end of his career began experimenting in sculpture.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_TheBlankCheck1965.jpg" alt="The Blank Check 1965" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Blank Check 1965</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/magritte/Magritte_Statue1967.jpg" alt="statue 1967" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">statue 1967</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Today his work is housed in modern museums all over the world, and perhaps in your own home. His paintings were often humorous and thought provoking, and to this day many of his images are still used in popular culture.
