René Magritte (1898-1967) is often thought of as the key figure in Belgian Surrealism and he is probably the most well-known; however, it was his relationships and collaborations with other Belgian artists that led to many of his most creative periods. Magritte only lived in Paris for a few years, but his friendships with Mesens and Mariën allowed him to stay connected to the French Surrealists and as well as represent him in the Paris art scene.
