Magritte: This Is Not a Biography

In Magritte: This Is Not a Biography, artist Thomas Campi brings the surrealist painter’s world to life for SelfMadeHero, weaving a lyrical, visually inventive portrait that blurs the line between fact and imagination. This single-issue graphic novel doesn’t aim to be a straight biography; instead, it channels the spirit of René Magritte’s own playful defiance, using his iconic imagery to explore memory, identity, and the mysteries behind the art. A thoughtful, dreamlike tribute, it matters for how it uses the comic form to mirror the very puzzles Magritte painted.
