Belgian artist Rene Magritte has been my favourite artist since I was in high school, when my best friend, Liz, showed me a book of his paintings. These are some of my faves. The third painting I posted, of the lion and the man with wings, "Homesickness", is Liz's favourite by Magritte; at least it used to be! My fave one is the first picture, of the train in the fireplace, "Time Transfixed". I used to have a poster of the 4th painting of the 3 spheres, which name escapes me. My friends and I used to refer to it as the "Geffen balls" because they look the logo for Geffen Records.
I like the Surrealists. Dali is my favourite, but Magritte is great, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise to find some of Magritte’s works! There are some of his works I like, especially one called ‘The Lovers’.
