Rene Magritte can be regarded as a master of riddle creation. As the most outstanding Belgian surrealist painter of the 20th century, his paintings resemble riddles or metaphors. Magritte harbored a deep fascination with symbols, myths, and beliefs, often dissecting or satirizing them with humor. His style exhibits a consciously neutral and precise quality.

Magritte believed that the depiction of an object does not equate to the object itself. There must be a precise balance between the "real" and the "illusory," the "abstract" and the "concrete." By elevating the subject's existence to a new level of anonymity and universality, and by removing all elements he rejected as subjective to art from the image's presentation, this is the artistic effect of surrealist painting.

Looking back on Magritte's artistic career, it is not difficult to discern how his initial experience as a commercial artist influenced his entire creative journey. Magritte's path to imagery encompassed graphic design, painting, writing, and visual creativity, revealing numerous observable and describable shifts in his style over the course of his forty-year creative process.

The exhibition of Magritte's works held at the Tianjin Airport Art Museum showcased multiple stone print works. He used elements such as "scenery," "characters," and "quotes" to reflect on his own art, which reflects Magritte's careful consideration of painting as a medium.
