Did you know he once employed a friend to distract his wife while he had an affair? 👀
René François Ghislain Magritte was born in Lessines, Belgium at the end of 1898, the eldest of three sons in a manufacturing family. His relatively uneventful early childhood took a turn for the tragic when his mother, who had long struggled with her mental health, committed suicide by drowning herself in a nearby river. At the story goes, the then 14-year-old Magritte was present when she was pulled from the water, at which point her dress floated up to cover her face.
Magritte / Banque d’Images, Adagp,Magritte's great love, a woman named Georgette Berger, played a key role in his life from the age of 15, when they first met, until their respective deaths. They married in 1922, but Magritte was as mischievous in his romantic life as in his artwork, and so when he began an affair with a young artist, Sheila Legg, he arranged for a friend, Paul Colinet, to distract his wife.
