Rene Magritte: Artists of the 20th Century
Magritte's paintings combine a misleading sense of realism with a mocking irony. The startling quality of his art originates from his unusual use of common images extraordinarily juxtaposed with unusual contexts that give new meaning to these familiar things. The juxtaposition is frequently termed magical realism, of which Magritte was the prime exponent. Like other surrealists, his art challenges us to relinquish the assumptions we have of what art should be, yet he does not rely on dreamy, hallucinogenic images that are the staples of surrealism; his fascinating images emerge from the mysteries of reality and the visible world around us. This video explores his career and examines images of some of his greatest works.
