...Magritte, the subversive surrealist painter. Both created iconic images that are recognizable the world over. And since June 2, both of them, finally, have museums of their own in their native country, dedicated to their respective contributions to the evolution of 20th century art. The museums trace the bold innovations and ideas that show up in the artists' work while also revealing the contrasting outlooks the two men held in their parallel lives...
