ID: #824 | Surrealism | Portraits

The painting depicts a man sitting in a studio and painting on canvas. On the canvas is a black and white image of a pigeon in flight. The man has dark hair, is dressed in a black suit and is looking intently at the canvas while holding a paintbrush. A table with a white egg on it can be seen in the foreground, adding to the poetic atmosphere and symbolism of the painting. The overall environment looks calm and focused on the artwork.

René François Ghislain Magritte (1898-1967). Belgian surrealist painter. He painted images full of wise humour, perspective and provocative thinking. They often depict a collection of everyday objects placed in an unusual context. For example, his painting Pipe looks like an advertisement for the tobacco trade. It bears the inscription This is not a pipe, which may not seem like the truth. But not on second thought: we see an image of a pipe (Magritte himself said: Try to stuff this pipe with tobacco.). His paintings are poetic and realistic (as opposed to images of another important surrealist, Joan Miró). His paintings significantly influenced his contemporaries and even artists today, and the artistic direction of the entire pop art movement. They became part of mainstream culture (often in the form of imitation in advertisements, etc.).
