Context:
|
Magritte was a leading surrealist artist who sought to evoke the mystery of life in his paintings through startling juxtapositions of elements from everyday life, which he steadfastly refused to explain. "One can accept poetic images as they are," he wrote, "refraining from reducing to the known what they have of the unknown, since their reality is the same kind as that of the universe."
