Contemporary Artist Case Study
Historical Artist Case Study • René Magritte was a Belgian-born artist who was known for his work with surrealism as well as his thought-provoking images. • Magritte excelled in the depiction of mental images and created works that transformed reality and confused the viewer. In true Surrealist form, alongside the likes of Dali, his paintings are never a mirror of the reality surrounding us, it is a mirror of the reality imagined by him
