Rene Magritte. The Man in the Hat

Description

Whilst other boys at boarding school were putting up pictures of scantily clad girls or footballers on their walls, British singer and actor Will Young was opting for a more refined option - the work of the wittiest misfit of the surrealist bunch- René Magritte. Join Will as he travels to the artist's birthplace in Brussels to discover more about the man behind the iconic bowler hat. Visiting his home, now a museum, the film reveals the life and amazing works of one of the most influential figures in 20th Century art, a painter whose trademark suits and bowler hats concealed a rebellious and subversive nature.
