The return by Rene Magritte

On Tuesday the 9th of August 2018, I went to san Francisco museum of modern art (MOMA) to explore the arts within the museum. Even though, there were many arts that were done by Famous artists in the museum, I didn’t quite get the messages behind those works and didn’t attract my attention; not because they were bad arts but I couldn’t relate to them. Yet while I was walking in the forth floor, an exhibit by an artist called Rene Magritte draw my attention. There were high red curtains before the entry to see Magritte’s artworks, I tried to get in but I have been told that I need to upgrade my ticket in order to see Magritte’s artworks. I was dying of curiosity!!! Why would Rene Magritte’s artworks be any different than the other artworks in the museum? What is unique about his work?! So I went and upgraded my ticket. Although, I might have seen some of Magritte’s artworks in the past, I didn’t know who Rene Magritte is until I saw his work at MOMA. Magritte was born November 21, 1898 in Lessines, Belgium. At the age eighteen, In 1916 he moved to Brussels and began to study art at the Academie Royale des Beaux Artes. He was surrealist artist and became famous due to his artistic works exemplified by a number of smart and thought-provoking images. Often portrays ordinary things in an unusual context. One of his artworks that really draw my attention was (The Return) in 1940 ….. please add thesis to the intro
