René Magritte Des oiseaux
For René Magritte, the bird symbolized freedom, imagination, and the mystery of perception. In iconic works like The Large Family (1963), where a bird’s body is filled with sky and clouds, Magritte transformed nature into philosophy — merging reality and illusion in a single image. Found in museums such as the Musée Magritte in Brussels and MoMA in New York, his bird paintings remain timeless reflections on the beauty of thought and the boundless nature of the human mind.
