-
- LOADSTAR has another exhibit in
-
- Francois Tremain's digital fine arts
-
- gallery, Gallerie d'Art. In this
-
- series, the curator provides
-
- reproductions and commentary on some
-
- of the most important artists and art
-
- movements.
-
-
- This month's exhibit features the
-
- work of the 20th Century surrealist,
-
- Rene' Magritte (1898-1967).
-
-
- Magritte was the central core of
-
- the Belgian surrealist movement. Like
-
- his fellow surrealists, Magritte used
-
- dreamlike imagery from the mind's
-
- subconscious to convey ideas and evoke
-
- emotions. In doing so, he rebelled
-
- against the cultural and aesthetic
-
- prejudice of the day.
-
-
- In many ways, Magritte was viewed as
-
- a rebel by his own revolutionary
-
- movement: Magritte scorned most of his
-
- fellow artists' beliefs and invented
-
- his own rules. Later, Magritte even
-
- rejected the old style surrealism that
-
- he had helped create.
-
-
- But while the surrealist movement
-
- had its share of controversy, it
-
- remained a vital force in the art
-
- world. Magritte and his fellow
-
- surrealists' visions inspired and
-
- influenced a new generation of artists
-
- that is still painting today.

-

- Malone and Alan Gardner.
