Some critics believed the images were influenced by the memory of his mother's death, but Magritte didn't like this explanation. It's the hidden story and symbolism behind this painting that's sure to keep your house guessing at the meaning behind its imagery. Margritte was born in the industrial city of Charleroi, Belgium and started painting at the age of 20. Much of his surrealistic art has a tendency to be erotic or shocking with several theories of reason. Perhaps it was from the times he spent as a child playing with a little girl in the underground vaults of an abandoned cemetery, the fact he was born a Sagittarius, or from the affects of his mother's death when he was 14 years old. Regardless of the reason Rene Magritte is one of the most popular artists in the world today. On Sale |
