Belgian painter; considered one of the most important representatives of Surrealism. "With regard to my painting, the word 'dream' is often used in a misleading way. My works do not belong to the dream world, on the contrary. If they are dreams in this context, they are very different from those we have in our sleep. They are rather self-willed dreams, in which nothing is as vague as the feelings one has when escaping into sleep. Dreams that do not want to put you to sleep, but to wake you up." (Quote: René Magritte, www.kunstzitate.de).
