Renee. Magritte's full name is René Fran?ois Gillan Magritte.

Golconda, 1853. Magritte was born in Lesina, Hainaut Province, the eldest son of his tailor father, Léopold Magritte, and his mother was a millinery salesman. He moved frequently during his childhood and began to learn painting when he was 10 years old. In 1912, his mother committed suicide by drowning in the Sambre River for unknown reasons. Magritte was present when his mother's body was fished out. His mother's face was covered with clothes when she was floating, which left a deep impression in his mind. This inspired the characters he painted from 1927 to 1928. The face is also covered with cloth, including "Les Amants", but he himself does not like this explanation [1]. Magritte studied at the Brussels School of Art for two years when he was young. After graduating in 1918, he worked in a wallpaper factory as a pattern designer. In 1919, he became interested in Futurism and Offerian Cubism, and was influenced by the Italian painter Chirico, who was ten years older than him, and began to adopt a surrealist style. In 1922 he married his childhood friend Georgette Berger. (The two met in 1913) In 1926, he began painting full-time, and in the same year he painted "Le jockey perdu" (The Lost Jockey), the first surrealist work. He held his first solo exhibition in Brussels in 1927, but received a lot of insulting criticism. Depressed by this failure, he moved to Paris. From 1927 to 1930, he moved to Paris. During this period, he met André Bitou and joined the ranks of the Surrealists. He created a large number of charming paintings with mysterious semantics. He also performed commercial graphic design for many fashion posters or music sheet covers. In 1936 His works were exhibited in New York, the United States of America, and later retrospective exhibitions were held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965 and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992. Later he returned to Brussels and set up a company with his brother to earn a living income. He broke with André when he insisted on staying in Brussels during Nazi Germany's occupation of the Kingdom of Belgium. During this period he gave up showing Brutalism and Surrealism in his work, but later resumed it. In his later years, Magritte settled in Brussels, Belgium. He died of pancreatic cancer on August 15, 1967 and was buried in Schaarbeek Cemetery. Since the 1960s, Magritte's works have aroused high public interest and influenced Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptualism. [2] In 2005, he was enumerated as the 9th "Greater Belgian" in the Walloon region and the 18th in the Flemish region.
