with love, rené magritte
Welcome to May and Magritte (1898-1967), my favourite surrealist painter.
His artwork leaves me more confused the more paintings of his that I lay my eyes on. Worse than Dalí’s paintings, believe it or not.
I’m not here to analyze his paintings (Magritte would’ve supposedly hated that). I just want to share my appreciation of his art to and with the rest of the people. Let’s soak them in and be amazed together!
