René Magritte is a Belgian surrealist painter, 1898-1967.
Magritte exhibited in 1933 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and in 1934 designed “Le Rape” for the cover of “What is surrealism”? by André Breton. In 1936 he made his first exhibition in New York at the Julien Levy gallery, met Marcel Mariën the following year and stayed in London where he exhibited in 1938 at the London Gallery in Mesens. After having directed, from February to April 1940, with Ubac the review “L’Invention collective” (two issues), Magritte, after the German invasion of Belgium in May 1940, left Brussels, stayed in Carcassonne, where he met the poet Joë Bousquet and where Scutenaire, Irène Hamoir, Raoul and Agui Ubac join him.
From 1943 to 1945, Magritte used the technique of the Impressionists during his period of surrealism “in full sun” or “Renoir period”. Between 1943 and 1947, the first books devoted to him were published: Les Images Défensues de Nougé, Magritte by Mariën and René Magritte by Scutenaire.
In March 1948, in six weeks, he painted around forty paintings and gouaches in garish tones “cow period” intended, in a typically surrealist act, to confuse Parisian merchants and scandalize French good taste, which are exhibited at the Galerie du Faubourg and prefaced by Scutenaire. Irène Hamoir bequeathed many of these works to the Brussels museum.
