If you have the opportunity to go to the museum in Brussels [1], I recommend it.

Seconded! I bought a few reproductions there which I have hanging in the bedroom for 10 years now. Never get boring. When I have a chance I will definitely visit again.

Oh, yes; highly recommended!

Please note that, like many museums, it's closed on Mondays, so I usually go the day before FOSDEM instead of after.

For an article about a book about a painter, this one has a deplorable lack of pictures. Ok, there are 3 (three) links to Wikipedia articles about Magritte paintings, but apparently it was too problematic or too expensive to show the paintings in the article itself?

Too recent I think, copyright issues.

It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age the owner of The Son of Man is not publicly known. I wonder if the owner displays it in their home for their own pleasure, or has it locked up in a super secure vault somewhere.

To see some of his work, because this article shows too little, here [1].
