When it came to painting, Magritte manifested an almost constitutional dislike, feigning something between boredom, fatigue and disgust -- the "savored infirmities of a retired acrobat." He particularly liked to refuse the name of artist, saying that he was a man who thought, and who communicated his thought by means of painting, as others communicated it by writing music or words. Painting represented for him a valid means of expressing, in a constantly changing light, the two or three fundamental problems with which our mind is always struggling. More particularly, it represented a permanent revolt against the commonplaces of existence.
