René François Ghislain Magritte

It can’t be overlooked that the self-killed mother was a major catalyst for his works. At the age of 

13, rené took his mother's corpse out of the river, 

whose  dress covered her face. This became the subject of many of Magritt's paintings in the 

1920s, in which people were depicted with fabrics

in front of their faces. 

Some of his works:

The Treachery of Images (1929)

The Son of Man (1964)

Golconda (1953)

The Mysteries of the Horizon (1955)
