Description

A man named Ren floats through the world of his dreams and imagination, fulfilling his desire to become a painter of apples and hats, apple hats, apple-these and apple-thats. In his paintings, leaves are lips, baguettes are noses, the right side is never up, and the upside is never down. Award-winning author Klaas Verplancke mashes everyday objects and words together in ways that are guaranteed to make kids laugh and think. Ren Magritte (1898 1967), one of the world s most beloved artists, created whimsical, subversive paintings that helped launch the popularity of surrealism. His works combined words and images in novel, thought-provoking ways, and used humour and ordinary subjects to inspire viewers to question the world around them.
