René François Ghislain Magritte (21 November 1898 – 15 August 1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images that fall under the umbrella of surrealism. His work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality.

The ones pictured below are included in the current exhibit. 

There is nothing that I can say about Magritte that his paintings do not say better.  If you want to check it out, the exhibit is featured for about another month and ends on June 1st.   I went out of general curiosity and when I was there I became an instant fan.   Seeing the original images up close and in living color is definitely worth the visit.
