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).
