JETTE. Surrealist painter René Magritte was one of Belgium's most famous artists. He and his wife Georgette lived in this suburban house for twenty-four years, during which time he produced his most famous art. Most people think "bowler hat" when they hear his name, and indeed, the artist's own topper is on display, along with sketches, his very first childhood painting, and the only work he owned by another artist, a photo by Man Ray. The museum does a first-rate job capturing how Magritte lived and painted, but to see his body of work, it's best to visit the Modern Art building of the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts.
