The only type of art I only closely followed is surrealist art. Any fans?

"Son of Man" by Rene Magritte is a famous piece. I had the pleasure of seeing the original when Magritte's art gallery was displayed at LACMA. What's interesting about his pieces is that they look normal first glance until you closely examine them. For example, the left arm is backwards.

Although Gustav Klimt was born before surrealism began, his paintings have a dream like quality to them.
