“The schoolmaster (Le maitre d'ecole)” is one of the most famous bowler-hatted man paintings by the surrealist Rene Magritte. The first owner of this work was Clare Boothe Luce (1903-1987), an American writer, journalist, ambassador and Congresswoman. After her death in 1987, it was sold at Sotheby's at 6,746,000 USD in New York.


The man is depicted here with his face turned towards the town-scape in the background, securing his all-important anonymity. A crescent moon appears as if pasted low onto the sky just above the man, acting as his personal attribute.

A crescent moon appears as if pasted low onto the sky just above the man, acting as his personal attribute.

The most celebrated Belgian artist of the twentieth century, Rene Magritte has achieved great popular acclaim for his idiosyncratic approach to Surrealism. His imagery has influenced pop, minimalist and conceptual art.   The illustrative quality of Magritte's pictures often results in a powerful paradox: images that are witty and beautiful in their clarity and simplicity, but which also provoke unsettling thoughts. They seem to declare that they hide no mystery, and yet they are also marvellously strange.
