My favorite artist is Rene Magritte; he
was a Belgian surrealist performer well known by their witty and
thought-provoking works which he pretended to involve all the senses and
obviously make us stop on our tracks. He was born in Lessines in 1898 being the first sibling of Leopold Magritte and Regina.
His first drawing lessons were in 1910. On 12 March 1912 his mother committed suicide by drowning herself in the River Sambre; her body was later discovered in the nearby river which was a relevant fact
in the paintings of Rene. My first experience with this artist was when I was
in high school when my arts teacher shown us a painting of Magritte called
"The Window" which is about a girl's hand trying to catch a bird in
the other side of the window. This work
is one of my favorite pieces of Magritte because we can appreciate a harmony
between colors and figures; also we can see a mix of nature and colors which
make this painting simply beautiful. And another piece that I like is "The
Rape" which is about a face which each part belongs to a female body parts
and I like it because represent exactly how some men perceive to women.
It`s very interesting this efects of pictures of Rene Magritte. I like this artis too! :D
ReplyDeleteHI cami! Magritte is an amazing artist, his works are really wonderful! and I love the surrealist too. good artist
ReplyDeleteHi Cami, I never heard about him before but I think with all the things that you said that it 's great
ReplyDeleteI know Rene too, his art is very interesting and with a unique style, but some pictures are very provocative and weird. Anywhere he is a very important pearson in the surrealism.
ReplyDeleteCamila, Magritte's story sounds so tragic because of the suicide of his mom. I looked for the paitings in Google, and I realized that I have seen The Rape before, it's such an interesting art.
ReplyDeleteHello Camila!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Magritte is a good artist, but I don't know his works :-( I think that you know of arts!
Goodbye!
I never listened about Rene Magritte, but I search painting of him and I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like the illusion that he create and the colours that he use.
Oh Renen Is a very good artist the surrealism is beauty “As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.”
ReplyDeleteI never have been interesting in drawers and painters, but when I see a good painting I like them very much. I search for "The Window" in web and is very nice.
