Rene Magritte was born in Lessines in 1898. Magritte's earliest oil paintings date from about 1915, there Impressionistic in style. From 1916 to 1918 he studied at the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, under Constant Montald, but found the instruction uninspiring. The oil paintings he produced during the years 1918-1924 were influenced by Futurism and by the offshoot of Cubism practiced by Metzinger. Most of his works of this period are female nudes. I find his photo manipulations below very interesting.
