Experience Australia's first retrospective of the celebrated surrealist René Magritte, exclusive to Sydney at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
René Magritte's paintings of clouds, hats, pipes and apples are among the most recognisable images of surrealism. Renowned for his deadpan, realist style, the Belgian artist depicted ordinary objects and everyday settings, revealing them to be more mysterious and enchanting than we could ever have imagined.
Magritte is an in-depth retrospective featuring more than 100 works, most of which have never before been seen in Australia. It journeys from the artist's first avant-garde explorations and commercial works in the 1920s, to his groundbreaking contributions to surrealism, his surprising provocations of the 1940s, and the renowned paintings of his final years, before his death in 1967.
Encounter iconic paintings that highlight Magritte's profound influence on contemporary visual culture, and discover rarely seen works that reveal his subversive sense of humour and the fierce independence of his artistic vision.
Enjoy 2-for-1 tickets on Wednesday nights during Art After Hours for visits between 5pm and 10pm.
