René Magritte, one of the masters of surrealism, created "Landscape" in 1920, a work that stands out in his early phase of artistic exploration before fully adopting the surrealist style for which he is widely recognized. This painting, done in a cubist style, shows the early influence of the avant-garde movements that sought to break with the pictorial traditions of the past through the decomposition of forms and the reorganization of spatial perspective.
This famous canvas is characterized by the use of geometric forms and the reduction of the landscape to abstract colors and shapes, reflecting the painter's attempt to distance himself from the literal representation of nature. This work is framed in a period where the Belgian artist was deeply influenced by the innovations of Picasso and Braque, who revolutionized art with the development of cubism.
Not many are familiar with René's works in the cubist style, as this creator is one of the masters of surrealism. The composition represents a crucial moment in Magritte's evolution towards a visual language that would question the perception of reality.
