The function of painting is to make poetry visible… to render thought visible." René Magritte Pictorial art reveals some of the visual brain's "neural rules" and processing hierarchy. The painting Le Blanc-Seing (1965) is a virtual course in perception, with many elements illustrating figure-ground segregation, object identification, cues for depth perception, Gestalt Laws of occlusion-continuation, and visual scene organization.

René Magritte’s cerebral, enigmatic paintings and prints helped define the imagery and philosophy of the Surrealist movement. His most famous works, including The Treachery of Images (1929) and The Son of Man (1946), explore the illusory power of art and juxtapose mundane and fantastical iconography. Magritte was born in Belgium. After a stint at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and employment as a designer and draftsman, he moved to Paris and became involved with the Surrealist trailblazer André Breton.
