[kakaduty]

I`ll see him next year in Vienna - his paintings are from december 2011 to february 2012 in the "Albertina"! Sooo great!! Thank you for this video - awesome work!!!

[InteriorDesignStar]

I wish I could use this video in my Magritte presentation, but it's too long. :( We have a limit of 5-10 minutes. This is very well done. Love it! Great job!

[fluffycatz4ever]

@ateniense7 He is the best. Have you seen the one when it looks like a beach with a ball but with a painting reflecting it inside a room? Thats cool!

[fluffycatz4ever]

thumbs up if u learned about him at art smarts!

[4N000]

[jwings84]

[mazingerZful]

[vincevampje]

Wonderful! :)

muito bem elaboraborado.Grata pela partilha

[chainbluelightning1]

Rene Magritte is my favorite surrealist painter, but there's a few here I've never seen before. Thank you for bringing these treasures to my attention. You're like an archaeologist who has used her fine brush to dust off some hidden gems. Now I'm craving at least a dozen of these for my walls. Guess I'll be paying a visit to some online art-for-sale sites.

[bluebelleXx]

could someone tell me the name of the picture in the thumbnail? I have a copy of it, and i've always liked it, but never found out what it was called?

[MosaicMaiden]

Superb!

[lematchemin]

Muchas gracias, precioso .~)

[maxwellsdaemon7]

Good job. I'm also a fan of Magritte, especially "Dominion of Light", which I saw at the Menil Collection in Houston. His works (and surrealism in general) reminds me of M.C. Escher's more mathematically-inclined works. Coincidentally, both Escher and Magritte were born in 1898.

[gilcarosio]

Beautiful video .. a brilliant presentation!

[DoubleWings]

Une merveille... Merci

[koliatima]

Excellente vidéo! Belle recherche sur René Magritte et j'aime la musique de Rachmaninoff qui accompagne.

Félicitations et merci.

[vivoaquipr]

I have often looked and gazed upon myself and seen a walking naked pelvis and have wished that my peritoneum (that concealed membrane), would falter and rupture forth and put in evidence the true nature of my countenance. Exquisite mind Magritte!

[hiccup08]

this work genius

[vintagezigg]

A wonderful video.The lightest art book I've carried in years, with musical accompaniment to boot. A pleasure ! Magritte's simplicity is what has alwaysattracted me to his work.I copied a few and changed them around a bit in my younger days. I wish I still had them or knew where they are.

[katchoman]

this is the best video on youtube.

[brendafohio]

thank you very much!

[Othaeg]

Yes, I too very much enjoyed bothe the video and the music. Thank you for sharing.

[AikiNick102]

I really enjoyed this. Both drawings and the music. Amazing! Thanks for upload.

Ceci n'est pas une comment.

[NicoMrBellamy]

anyone know the meaning of the recurrent elements in Magritte's paintings, like the tube, the woman body, the lion, etc? is there any rational symbolism or just dream-art?

ThanX!

[janneman666]

To answer almost in his own words: there is no real composition in his work, because composition would inherently mean that his work can be decomposed, is dividable, that all can be looked at seperately. This is not the case. Analysing his paintings is therefore unnecessary. Everybody is free to see in them what he or she wants, and he challenges the spectator to make up his own mind. That's at least how I interpret it.

[NicoMrBellamy]

ohm, Thanx!

[snowbird1912]

hey people!!!!

I am doing a report on Rene Magritte and i want to know who influenced rene magritte

[ziagirl]

Love Rene Magritte! False Mirror, my FAVORITE by him. Such talent.

[neter11]

Great video! Thanks! I love Rene Magritte

[sATYRinVENUS]

great exhibition!

Rene Magritte was an aptitude..always been my favourite painter..

all the towel spreaded faces in his works are influenced from his mother suicide..

[dpmduran]

Lucid Dreamer!

[brandon4026]

Would anyone happen to know the specific name of the song playing as the background music? It's such a lovely piece.

[brendafohio]

The name of the piece is at the end of the video!

[polar24]

Sergei Rachmaninov - Symphonic Dances, Op.45 - (2nd movement) Andante con moto

brendafohio, who is it performed by?

[brendafohio]

It's another one I got from a Dogpile audio search. I haven't a clue. Sometimes they do not tell you the composer nor the performer. I am sorry.

[belianis]

With his dark suit and bowler hat, Magritte only had to grow a dark moustache in order to look exactly like his illustrious compatriots, Dupond et Dupont=Thomson and Thompson=Hernandez y Fernandez.

[dowile112]

i like him paintings..

[dollybastet]

[luardeverao]

[rino43mari]

Renè Magritte ti spinge a un lavoro di ricostruzione ottica. Dove però non garantisce una spiegazione scevra da dubbi

bellissimi i quadri di Magritte ma ancora di piu' la musica è molto azzeccata.....complimenti.....

[brendafohio]

Ringraziamenti per guardare e per il vostro commento. Pace

(Perdoni il mio povero italiano, per favore.)

[Onlyjasonhere]

This is not a comment.

[klingstomp]

that was great.

[jspen2]

What a wonderful video Brenda. I've given it 5 stars and of course it immediately went into my favorites. Thanks for posting such fantastic work.

[brendafohio]

Thank you jspen2, your support means a lot! Peace. :D

[jspen2]

I love this particular type of surrealism, the more naturalistic works of Tanguy, Magritte or Dali (as opposed to the more abstract or Dada influenced work of say Matta or Andre Masson). It is marvelous, irrational and accidental!! The game of Telephone elevated to a philosophic method...

[oanaalexia]

thanks for posting this. I hope all people that will see this will love these paintings. I like Rene Magritte soo much.

[brendafohio]

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[jspen2]

Anytime B.  I enjoy your videos tremendously.

[mercoid]

2>His painting technique IMHO leaves much desired, but what a mind! If Glenn Gould's playing, as has been said, is "like an x-ray of the music", Rene Magritte's paintings are an x-ray of our subconscious.

[mercoid]

1>This is fantastic. Some of these I have never seen before. Thank you! Magritte holds a special place in my heart. Empire of Light is one of my favorites. I feel his he is not given enough respect by most historians.

[brendafohio]

Magritte, to me, deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. His technical expertise shines through his surrealistic subject matter. Thank you for your comment and your compliment! Peace.

[mlutherp]

Wonderful - a perfect harmony of pictures and music!

[brendafohio]

Thank you, I tried to find something that carried the mind along as the paintings went by. This one took me weeks to find music that was a great match, but it was worth the wait. Thank you for your comment and for watching!

[14allandall41]
