René Magritte

Hi everyone. If we talk about artists, I like different things about a lot, so I don´t have a favourite artist. But since I saw for first time a René Magritte paint it called my attention. René Magritte was a belgian painter. He was born in 21th august, 1989 in Lessines, Belgium. He studied in Fine Arts academy of Brussels, Belgium. His first paints were in impressionist current. He exposed some early paints and worked in a factory as designer. Then he exposed in others salons, he start to show influences from Cubism, Futurism and Purism. His paints show his personal style, what will put the attention of critics on his art. His more important jobs are “The Lovers” and “The son of men” between others. I admire him because we can read all paints like a text, they use different resources and it tells us different things, ideas, or stories. But Magritte makes those ideas a metaphorical and complex language. The takes the resources and ideas at limit and make us think. My favourite work is "The false mirror", I love the clouds, some people know it and I like how he express the idea that we look by a mirror. I love him for all reasons I told and because I like how he uses vivid colors. He was an important artist for the Surrealist current, he influenced in posterior artist and he keep doing it. Today we can see in many works of artists mentions to Magritte style.

Have good time this weekend! Bye.
