Magritte used a highly illusionist painting technique to make the viewer think about the real object and the painted imitation of the object.
In his painting "The lovers", he uses realistic painting techniques and questions the sense and meaning of the work.
realistic painting techniques
Usually oil on canvas.
I'm not sure but i think he mostly used oils.
Magritte himself never wanted to explain his paintings. Surrealist painters often use dreams trying to reach their subconscious level. Consequently there may not be any intelligible explanations of surrealist paintings.
He was a surrealist.

Magritte used normal, everyday items in non-traditional ways. He used lithographs that were duplicated to create his artwork. Magritte's work was often simple, but raised questions about reality.
