In The Lovers II, by Magritte, he takes the cinematic cliché but disrupts our voyeuristic pleasure by covering the faces in cloth. A moment of connection becomes one of isolation, of sexual frustration. An intimate moment becomes something dark and effortlessly disturbing. Something hidden and anonymous.
Rene Magritte denied that his traumatic childhood was connected in any way with his art, but in this episode, I look at the possibility that his past affected him more than he admitted.

rené magritte: paints his childhood trauma
rené magritte: “this is not my childhood trauma”

By far the best art history essayist on YouTube. Straight to the point, no dumb jokes or animations, just decisive information. Wonderful.

Slightly stunned to realise how little I knew about Magritte the person and his life, considering how fascinated I've been by his art. Kind of heartening to hear about someone whose life started out with so much trauma to find supportive love and acclaim as an artist before death.

You have illuminated the world of art for me and taken me on a magical journey. Thank you!

In Houston, we have the second largest Magritte collection (second only to the museum in Brussels) at the Menil Collection. It’s free and they have so much of his art that it gets constantly rotated. It’s worth going frequently.

His art is so smooth; the mention of "no brush strokes" was enlightening, as I had not paid attention to it's abcesnce in Magritte. Possibly because there is so much more to engage the mind, and that's its beauty. Every time I look at one of his pieces, another thought, another possibility, comes into existence. It is never the same, quite like poetry. You might read a poem one day, in one mood, and read it again another day and it feels like it isn't even the same poem. Very enticing, he must have been a fantastic advertiser!

I’ve lived in Lessines for all my life and that is so weird to hear the name of my small belgian town in one of your videos!
Fun fact: the house in which Magritte was born still stands here (near the station), but they misplaced the commemorative plate indicating that event and put it on the neighbour’s house. I guess you could call that a surrealistic mistake
Keep up the great work!

I always found Magritte's style oddly appealing, it's fascinating to learn how much of his work was directly affected by death of his mother. Amazing quality once again, thank you.

Thank you for this film! It’s amazing! I saw his paintings in Brussels when I temporarily lived. I’m Ukrainian refugee and live in Belgium since the war started. I have the opportunity to discover this artist for me. Thank for this explanation of his life and art.

Magritte was an excellent choice.
I could watch this all day long.
Great content again. Thanks!

Terrific content, as always! I did not know he had so little fame during his lifetime. It was good to see he got some measure of success at the end.

I'm a proud Belgian because of Magritte. Thanks for this amazing video❤

Thanks to the gawdawful remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, which heavily features Magritte's art, I had to watch the infamous chess scene from the original film after watching this. 🍏😉 I'm so glad that you pointed out repeatedly that this artist didn't offer any clues to analyze his work. This burden lies with the audience, should they wish to traverse the unconscious feelings stirred by his art. I loved your inclusion of Magritte's word paintings, his dislike of the process, and the intentionally private life he led. Thank you!

You help me love art even more with each video you create. Thanks so much!
