In 1910 at age 12 he started taking drawing lessons and in 1912 his mother had committed suicide by drowning herself in the river. The legend says that Magritte was present when they had removed her body was retrieved and is said to be the source of several of Magritte’s painting in 1927 to 1928 of people’s clothing covering their faces like his mother. Magritte’s painting can date clear back to 1915 and those early paintings were impressionistic in style. From 1916 to 1918 Magritte studied at the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts and most of works through this time and …show more content…
This era is known to be Renoir Period and during this time he would produce fake paintings of Van Gogh, Picasso, and Paul Cezanne, later to be taken about by his brother Paul Magritte. Throughout Magritte’s career his main style was a surrealist style and he would rarely stray away from this from of work, most of the work that he had created portrayed similar scenes and recurring themes. Magritte’s favorites happened to be creating a painting inside of a painting, floating rocks, he would also use many inanimate objects, within a human figure to create the styles that other artists did not use. Also during Magritte’s career he would use famous paintings created by other artists and put his twist of surrealism on the painting. One of the most famous paintings he recreated was The Balcony by Edouard Manet. In this painting Magritte showed his style by changing the images in the original painting to coffins. He would create unique designs getting the viewers to look outside of the box and focus on the distinctive features that were not originally

René Magritte Belgian Surrealist artist René Magritte was a master not only of the obvious, but of the obscure as well. In his artwork, Magritte toyed with everyday objects, human habits and emotions, placing them in foreign contexts and questioning their familiar meanings. He suggested new interpretations of old things in his deceivingly simple paintings, making the commonplace profound and the rational irrational. He painted his canvasses in the same manner as he lived his life -- in strange modesty and under constant analysis. Magritte was born in 1898 in the small town of Lessines, a cosmopolitan area of Belgium that was greatly influenced by the French.
On October 23, 1844, in Red River Manitoba, Louis Riel Sr and Julie Lagimodiere, devout Christians, brought a young Métis boy into the world. Little did they know, Louis Riel Jr. would grow up to become known to many as “the founder of Manitoba.” His life was filled with excitement, both political and personal. The question is, were his actions against the government acts of honor and truth, or deception and lies?
Louis Riel was born in 1844. He was captured and executed by Canadian authorities in November 16, 1885. He was a leader who gave up his life and time to fight for the right of the Metis, Indians and the western settlers. He was an well-educated young man fluent in both French and English. He was also selected as the Metis’s spokesman to negotiate with the Canadian government. During the 1869-70, he led the rebel when Canada purchases Manitoba from the Hudson’s bay company. Also, he organized and led a similar rebellion in 1885. Above all, is he a patriote or a traitor? It was inappropriate to accuse Riel as a traitor. He tried to defend the traditional rights of Metis and made sure they treated as equally as the
Louis Riel is one of the bravest people in Canadian history. Louis was born and raised in what is now known as Winnipeg, Manitoba as a Metis. Riel was also the founder of Manitoba, a politician, and the leader of the Metis during the red river rebellion. The Hudson Bay Company sold Rupert’s land to the new Domain of Canada. However, the people living on this land already, which many of them were Metis and the first nation had not been negotiated or confirmed about this. They feared for their culture, and land rights under the control of Canada. This is what sparked the red river rebellion. They created their own government and made Louis Riel their leader. This revolution is also what prompted the creation of Manitoba and is why Louis Riel
Every artist has his or her own style of painting. Each painting tells some sort of story or has some type of personal meaning to the artist. One of the most important figures in modern art is Pablo Picasso. Not only was Pablo Picasso a genius in the field of abstract art, but he also experimented with sculpting and ceramics. Pablo Picasso has taken the world to many places with his unique style of work which is why I believe he is considered to be a genius of the 20th century.
In June 1911 Archibald Black a Melbourne doctor and art collector gave his daughter a wedding gift but it was no ordinary present.

Kathleen M. Streater wrote the article, Adele Ratignolle: Kate Chopin’s Feminist at Home in The Awakening. The peer-reviewed journal entry was published in The Midwest Quarterly and seems to be the only article written by Streater as it is difficult to find much information on Streater. Streater made a convincing argument throughout the article by using expert quotes that bolster the position she took in addressing Edna’s radical feminism. Streater said, “To focus solely on Edna’s radical feminism is to limit Chpoin’s exploration of feminism.” Edna fought against natural and societal structures of motherhood forcing her to be referred to as the wife of Leonce Pontellier instead being her/

Patience, acceptance, confidence. Temple Grandin’s story is one of finding yourself, being comfortable with yourself, and not letting anyone stop you from following your dreams and reaching your full potential. She not only proved herself as a female working in a very male dominated field, but she proved herself as someone with a disability defeating the odds and becoming extremely successful regardless of her countless trials.
I don’t think one artist on this planet could ever copy or imatate his work because its so complicated. Some would say his work was imature but I think the talent level was beyond regular. Most of the faces on this painting are more created images then distinct lines on a paper. If Dali was alive today he would be more then a multi-millonare. The paints go from dark to light to show form. For some reason the gowns of one of the female statues is being held on by a botton. The breasts on the females go from a lighter shade to a darker shade. Which gives the statues a fading qaulity. I think this painting was done with some sort of oil paints. He did showing the ripples of light on the lake. This lake is some what invisible. The head of a statue goes from larger to smaller and smaller. This particular painting doesn’t depict religion , which is why I find it caught in space. His mother is painted on the side of a cliff and light shows a man inside the face of his mother. This painting shows qualitys of figure, contour and light. There are many minitures and copys of figures in this painting. The toreador its self looks like coluseum in heaven. Ther are
René Descartes was a French philosopher and also mathematician. His method of doubt led him to the famous "cogito ergo sum" when translated means "I am thinking, therefore I exist". This cogito was the foundation for Descartes' quest for certain knowledge. He explored doubt and how we can prove our own existence, by taking the first steps of scepticism. His book "Meditations On First Philosophy", was written in six parts. Each representing the six days that God took to create the world. Not to upset the Church, Descartes would need to prove the existence of God, and the soul. Within Descartes' argument, we find some important areas. Two, which require focus, are his
Rene Magritte was an enigmatic and strange man who painted surrealism paintings. Little is known about his childhood except that his mother, Regine Magritte took her own life by drowning herself in the Sambre river. Young Magritte is thought to have discovered her body floating with her night garment covering her face. There is speculation that this trauma was an influence on many of Magritte’s works. When Rene Magritte took up his brushes, he created beautiful visual riddles that delight and bewilder the viewer. His clean lines and highly detailed finishes made his brush strokes nearly invisible; his paintings look as if they came from a printing press. Magritte referred to his paintings as “his labors.” He did labor over the paintings
