Matthijs Maris initially acquired fame as a painter in the style of the The Hague School, just like his famous brothers Jacob and Willem. However, over the years he abandoned this realistic palette for more introverted and symbolic themes and started portraying dreamy children, young people on the verge of adulthood, fairytale figures and mythical landscapes using an increasingly smudged painting technique. Even in his own time, Maris was admired at home and abroad by collectors and artists i...

The Surrealists made abundant use of photography, and some even devoted themselves to it entirely. But Magritte never considered himself a 'photographer' - he reserved this practice for special moments and specific uses: family photos, models for paintings and advertising work, photos of paintings in progress, and scenes improvised with friends. Nevertheless, Magritte's photographs and films are closely related to his paintings and demonstrate a similar methos in their grasp on reality.
