Did René Magritte create abstract art?

  • No, his work is not classified as abstract

  • Yes

  • Only in his early career

  • Yes, but mixed with realism

Answer

No, René Magritte's work is not classified as abstract. While he is known for his surrealist paintings, his work does not fit the definition of abstract art. Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent objects or figures in the real world. Magritte's paintings, on the other hand, often depict recognizable objects and figures, even if they are presented in a surreal way.
