BRUSSELS, BELGIUM.- The Center for Fine Arts Brussels presents Magritte and Photography, through May 15, 2005. A little-known side of the great Belgian Surrealist painter, photography shows how Magritte gradually invented his famous character in the black coat and bowler hat. In a series of over 330 small prints belonging to him personally, most of which have never been published before, the story of his life is told with humour. His wife and muse Georgette, and friends such as Scutenaire and Nougé, as well as the Belgian coast in the 1950s … Magritte ,,who had become a character in his own paintings, also posed for some famous Belgian photographers (Thiry, Lierens and d’ Ursel) as well as foreign ones such as Michals.
