The Big Family 1963 by Rene Magritte — Fine Art

The Big Family 1963 shows a painted scene with ordinary objects placed in a plain field. The picture uses solid colours and simple outlines, the way Rene Magritte often worked. You see quiet shapes arranged with care, and the eye rests on each one in turn.

This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel, ready to hang on a wall. The matte surface keeps the painted colours even, so each solid shape reads clearly without any shine under a lamp.

It fits well on a narrow wall in a hallway near the front door. From there you notice the arranged objects and the plain painted ground, with the doorway light falling softly across the scene.
