Everything is beginning to click into place. I have formulated a thesis that I believe will give my paper a consistent drive, and have begun writing. The rough draft will, of course, be very rough, but I am confident that I have a good understanding of Magritte as an artist, his motives behind his work, and his influence on later artists as well as those who influenced him. I do need a bit more information to fulfill the required amount of sources, and I think I will collect some concerning the Surrealist movement to add context to my paper. I will provide analysis of a few of his major works, and focus the paper on what makes so much of his work memorable: his ability to mystify us by manipulating the familiar and creating a desire within us to understand a meaning beyond the present image.
