Rene Magritte Paintings

The most celebrated Belgian artist of the twentieth century, Rene Magritte has achieved great popular acclaim for his idiosyncratic approach to Surrealism. His imagery has influenced pop, minimalist and conceptual art.

 

The illustrative quality of Magritte's pictures often results in a powerful paradox: images that are witty and beautiful in their clarity and simplicity, but which also provoke unsettling thoughts. They seem to declare that they hide no mystery, and yet they are also marvellously strange.

About The Treachery of Images
“The Treachery of Images” is the most famous painting by the surrealist Rene Magritte that shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" French for "This is not a pipe" thereby the viewer is presented with an irreconcilable contradiction that ultimately renders language useless. Because it clearly is a pipe, though not actually a pipe, but a representation on paper. The painting “This is not a pipe” (1935) questions the viewer’s perception. Magrite produced multiple versions of this image. The naturalistic painting means the pipe depicted is deceptively similar to the object itself, with the pipe’s shadow creating the impression of three-dimensionality. At the same time Magritte unsettles, since the wording claims: “This is not a pipe”.
