The iconic paintings by masters of Surrealism such as Gustave Klimt and Salvador Dali have provided countless inspiration for magazine editorials and adverts.
Images inspired by another master of Surrealism, Rene Magritte, have grabbed the spotlight once again in the Winter issue of Beverly Hills-based Genlux Magazine.
These exquisite images come from a Genlux Magazine editorial called "Sir Realist" which was shot by Andrew Matusik using some of Magritte’s iconic paintings such as "the Son of Man."
