  • René François Ghislain Magritte was born on November 21 in 1898 and died on August 15 in 1967. He was a Belgian surrealist artist and became well known for a number of witty and amusing images. Magritte was born in Lessines as the eldest son of Léopold Magritte and Adeline. He began drawing lessons in 1910. He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels for two years until 1918. In 1922 he married Georgette Berger, whom he had met in 1913. Magritte worked in a wallpaper factory, and was a poster and advertisement designer until 1926 when a contract with Galerie la Centaure in Brussels made it possible for him to paint full-time. In 1926, Magritte produced his first surreal painting - Le jockey perdu (the lost jockey) - and held his first exhibition in Brussels in 1927. Critics heaped abuse on the exhibition. Depressed by the failure, he moved to Paris where he became friends with André Breton, and became involved in the surrealist group. Surrealist patron Edward James allowed Magritte, in the early stages of his career, to stay rent-free in his London home and paint. James features in two of Magritte’s pieces, The Principle Pleasure and La Reproduction Interdite.
