Artists are creative people. The term is most often used to describe those who make works through painting, sculpture, video and performance, but it can be also used to describe someone with some sort of creative talent. A visual artist is someone who deals with different subjects but chooses to represent or interrogate these ideas through different mediums. Artists now work in a variety of forms, often seeking to make an audience think differently about a certain topic. Kara Walker is a famous American artist who creates visual imagery re-representing oppressive historical narratives of slavery. She uses hand drawn silhouettes, paintings, and sculpture to tell these stories.

René Magritte
Size comparison drawings of René Magritte comparing the heights of other related artists

René Magritte was a Surrealist artist born in Belgium in 1989. He is known for his paintings which challenge social conventions and perceptions of reality, forcing the viewer to confront their preconceived ideas about certain ideas and objects. He used repeated motifs in his work; some of his most recognisable symbols include a pipe, a bowler hat and a green apple. One of his most famous works is a painting of pipe with the words underneath Ceci n’est pas une pipe (this is not a pipe). He wanted to force the viewer to really examine what they saw: if it’s not a pipe, what is it?

René Magritte had a height of 5’8” (1.73 m).
