A few photos of Magritte and his family, and more taken by Magritte himself spanning from around his thirties (in the 1930s) onwards, the subjects being some combinations of himself, his wife Georgette, his friends, and one or two family members including his brother Paul, as well as some short 'home video' type movie recordings that he 'scripted' and made in similar vein, including many stagings of scenarios and images that also made their way into his paintings. Nothing life-changing, but the playfulness of it all, not to mention the wholehearted willingness of those close to him to participate in the clowning, is a good reminder that, for all the seriousness and perfectionism apparent in his paintings, there is a strong playful stream of humour running through his work and ideas too.
