Magritte Rene
Magritte Rene
Rene Magritte (1898-1967)
was born in Lessines near Tournai in French speaking Belgium in 1898. He spent his childhood in Chatelet and Charleroi. He attended the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels from 1916 to 1918. There he met the brothers Victor and Pierre Bourgeois and the painter Pierre-Louis Flouquet. In 1919 Magritte contributed to the first issue of the review
Au Volant
published by the Bourgeois brothers. After a year of military service he worked as a designer, first of all for a wallpaper manufacturer in Brussels and then as a freelance designer of posters, publicity materials and exhibition stands. He painted his first acclaimed Surrealist painting,
The Last Jockey
, in 1926 and in the same year, along with the other Belgian surrealists, signed the declamatory leaflets
Two Disgraces
and the
Married Couple of the Eiffel Tower.
Between 1927 and 1930 Magritte lived in Le Perreux-sur-Marne near Paris, during which time he became acquainted with Hans Arp, Andre Breton, Salvador Dali, Paul Eluard and Joan Miro. Magritte's provocative essay
Words and Pictures
was published in the last issue of
La Revolution Surrealiste
in 1929, a year after he painted
The Empty Mask.
