Glad to find someone else who likes Magritte. My favorite place in my hometown Houston is the Menil Museum, packed with his famous work since they were friends of his. I clearly remember being taken to Magritte exhibits when I was a kid in Houston - started a lifelong appreciation!

Years ago my mom had a subscription to Art and Antiques and they had an article about Magritte and that's what got me interested.

When I was looking up the name of Paris Street, Rainy Day by Gustave Caillebotte (I could picture it, but not the name or artist), I was going through different pages at the Art Institute of Chicago website. They actually own Time Transfixed, but it's not on display! Time Transfixed at AIC
