<a href="http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1E1-Magritte.html" title="Facts and information about René Magritte">René Magritte</a>
René Magritte , 1898-1967, Belgian surrealist painter. Strongly influenced by Chirico , Magritte developed a style in which a misleading sort of realism is combined with mocking irony. His paintings are dominated by an intense quietude and restraint, despite a startling juxtaposition of images. Characteristic works, such as The Red Model (1935; Modern Mus., Stockholm), contain elaborate fantasies constructed around commonplace situations.
Bibliography: See studies by S. Gablik (1970) and A. M. Hammacher (tr. 1974).
