| One of Magritte’s earliest Surrealist pictures was “Le Jockey perdu” (The Lost Jockey), 1926. In 1927 and 1928, Magritte lived with his wife Georgette, whom he had wed in 1922, on the outskirts of Paris, and maintained contacts with the French Surrealists. Impulses received in France appear not only to have bolstered Magritte’s self-confidence as an artist. Shortly before, during and after his Paris days, which would remain his sole relatively long sojurn abroad until his death in 1967, he explored motifs of the most diverse kind, some of which he would continue to vary throughout his career. |
