Rene Magritte was one of the most well-known and famous surrealist painters of all time, yet it
was not until his 50s, when he was finally able to reach some form of fame and recognition for
his work. He was extremely influential in the transformation of surrealism art, to the pop art
movement, with the work he created, and the distinct style which he took with the creations that
he made during the course of his career. Much of the work created by Rene Magritte, takes
every day, normal objects, and he would simply rearrange the figures and locations, forcing the
viewer to take a deeper look at what was in front of them, and at what the image truly
represented.
