Summary

The Belgian Surrealist, Rene Magritte, is a master of optical illusion. His influence on pop culture is felt everywhere -- from advertising and corporate logos, to consumer products and design. Magritte's paintings are witty and easy to enter, but their eerie calm can be unnerving and leave us feeling Let's Get Out of Here! We end up wondering if what we're looking at is what we're supposed to be seeing.
