René Magritte (1898-1967) René Magritte was born in 1898 in Lessines near Tournai, in the French-speaking part of Belgium. He grew up in Châtelet, near Charleroi. Studied from 1916 to 1918 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, where he met the Bourgeois brothers Victor and Pierre as well as the painter Pierre-Louis Flouquet. Magritte collaborated in 1919 on the first issue of the magazine Au Volant, edited by the Bourgeois brothers. After a year of military service, Magritte worked as a draftsman, mainly for a Brussels wallpaper manufacturer and, as a freelancer, created posters, advertising materials, and stands for exhibitions. In 1926 he painted his first recognized surrealist work, The Lost Jockey. In the same year, he signed, with other Belgian surrealists, the pamphlets titled The Married Couple of the Eiffel Tower and Two Disgraces. Magritte stayed from 1927 to 1930 in Le Perreux-sur-Marne, near Paris, where he met Hans Arp, André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Paul Eluard, and Joan Miró. His provocatively titled article The Words and the Images was published in 1929 in the last issue of La Révolution Surréaliste, one year after the creation of his painting The Empty Mask. Parastone has successfully created decorative objects for almost 50 years, some of timeless classic beauty and others more aligned with dominant trends.
