My painting is visible images that conceal nothing... they evoke mystery. Mystery means nothing. It is unknowable.
Rene MagritteI need to see the original paintings just as little as I have to read the original manuscripts of books.
Rene MagritteDo not accept any explanation of the world either through chance or determinism. You are not responsible for your belief. It is not even you who decides that you are not responsible - and so on to infinity. You are not obliged to believe. There is no point of departure.
Rene MagritteTo be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.
