Today marks the 110th birthday of René François Ghislain Magritte a famous Belgian surrealist artist who is well-known for his thought-provoking images. One of his most recognized painting is named the Son of Man and is most commonly and perhaps affectionately dubbed “the bowler hat painting.”
Magritte described his paintings by saying:
“My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, “What does that mean?” It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.” (Reference: http://www.magritte.com)
