Em "La condition humaine, 1933", um quadro de uma paisagem foi colocado num tripé, frente a uma janela. O tema é exactamente igual ao exterior, criando uma confusão entre a representação e o original. Através desta obra, Magritte questiona a distinção entre a ilusão e a realidade. O estilo meticuloso e frio, derivado do mundo da publicidade e da ilustração, acrescenta uma convicção próxima da de um documentário a esta estranha imagem, desafiando as nossas certezas visuais. O carácter ilusionístico e a atmosfera de sonho são próprios da sua versão individual do Surrealismo. Magritte tornou-se um dos líderes deste movimento depois de ter abandonado a Bélgica, em 1927, para se instalar em Paris, onde permaneceu durante três anos. As suas obras são frequentemente enigmáticas, jogando com a ambiguidade e a verdade visual. Acerca da sua própria obra, afirmou: «As pessoas que procuram significados simbólicos não conseguem captar a poesia e o mistério da imagem... As imagens têm de ser vistas tal como são.» René Magritte nasceu em Lessines (BEL) em 1898 e morreu em Bruxelas (BEL) em 1967.
..........................................................................................................
René François Ghislain Magritte was born on November 21, 1898, in Lessines, Belgium. He studied intermittently between 1916 and 1918 at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Magritte first exhibited at the Centre d Art in Brussels in 1920. After completing military service in 1921, he worked briefly as a designer in a wallpaper factory. In 1923 he participated with Lyonel Feininger, El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, and the Belgian Paul Joostens in an exhibition at the Cercle Royal Artistique in Antwerp. In 1924 he collaborated with E. L. T. Mesens on the review Oesophage. In 1927 Magritte was given his first solo exhibition at the Galerie le Centaure in Brussels. Later that year the artist left Brussels to establish himself in Le Perreux-sur-Marne, near Paris, where he frequented the Surrealist circle, which included Jean Arp, André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Paul Eluard, and Joan Miró. In 1928 Magritte took part in the Exposition surréaliste at the Galerie Goemans in Paris. He returned to Belgium in 1930, and three years later was given a solo show at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Magritte's first solo exhibition in the United States took place at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1936 and the first in England at the London Gallery in 1938. He was represented as well in the 1936 Fantastic Art, Dada [more], Surrealism exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Throughout the 1940s Magritte showed frequently at the Galerie Dietrich in Brussels. During the following two decades he executed various mural commissions in Belgium. From 1953 he exhibited frequently at the galleries of Alexander Iolas in New York, Paris, and Geneva. Magritte retrospectives were held in 1954 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and in 1960 at the Museum for Contemporary Arts, Dallas, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. On the occasion of his retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965, Magritte traveled to the United States for the first time, and the following year he visited Israel. Magritte died on August 15, 1967, in Brussels, shortly after the opening of a major exhibition of his work at the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam.

Falar de um gênio como Magritte é difícil . Um artista dotado de grande técnica aliada a uma visão muito peculiar que criou um universo próprio para seu trabalho . Mais do que pintar , Magritte imaginou um mundo que só ele viu ,com todas as imponderabilidades que imaginou .Sua obra é tão personalista , à semelhança de Renoir ,Van Gogh e Dali , para citar apenas alguns ,que mesmo nos deparando com um quadro que ainda não conhecemos , sabemos quem é seu autor . Nota 1000 é pouco .

"O estilo meticuloso e frio, derivado do mundo da publicidade e da ilustração, acrescenta uma convicção próxima da de um documentário a esta estranha imagem..."
Será mm derivado do mundo da publicidade e da ilustração?..
