René Magritte (1898-1967) is one of the most revered and popular artists of the 20th century. Renowned for witty images depicting everyday objects such as apples, bowler hats and pipes in unusual settings, Magritte'’s art plays with the idea of reality and illusion. The release of the app coincides with a major exhibition of his work at Tate Liverpool (24 June – 16 October 2011).

Amazing!

Cheers to a wonderfully brilliant (and incredibly well-designed) app by Tate Modern!

Nice but I do not care for videos

I wish it would save photos not just videos.

It does one thing and one thing only but it does it very well.

Get nothing but 10 sec if black-- too bad, wish it worked!

Would love it more if it worked!

The image to be Magritted opens from my camera, it looks as if it is recording...but play back preview, even sending a copy to myself via email produces no image. Black as night. Very disappointed art teacher!
