born Nov. 21, 1898, Lessines, Belg.
died Aug. 15, 1967, Brussels
Belgian painter.
After study at the Belgian Academy of Fine Arts (
1916–
18),
he designed wallpaper and did advertising sketches until the support of a Brussels art gallery enabled him to become a full-
time painter.
His early works were in the Cubist and Futurist styles,
but in 1922 he discovered the work of Giorgio de Chirico and embraced Surrealism with The Menaced Assassin (
1927).
Certain images appear over and over again in Magritte'
s works
the sea, wide skies, the female torso, the bourgeois "little man" in a bowler hat, rocks that hover overhead
and dislocations of space, time, and scale were common elements in his enigmatic and illogical paintings.
