René Magritte

René Magritte was an artist from Belgium who was part of the Surrealism movement, creating famous paintings like ‘this is not a pipe’ showing that an image is an image, a pipe is a pipe.

He also made the Empire of Light, this is a painting about a dark house on a street that has a very bright background that makes it clear as day time, but the foreground is a dark and night time, it highlights the day at night time
