Young Loves (Les Jeunes Amours) – René Magritte Painting – Surrealist Art Painting - Posters
100 Rs
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 Young Loves (Les Jeunes Amours) – René Magritte Painting – Surrealist Art Painting
The apple is one of the most recognizable and iconic images within Magritte’s oeuvre and appears throughout his work in various contexts: sometimes grotesquely enlarged to fill an entire room, sometimes petrified, or appearing in a portrait, replacing the face of a sitter. This mundane object, often associated with the traditional genre of still-life, is thus transformed into something inexplicable. With an extraordinary economy of means and clarity of execution that characterized his later work, Magritte created images of mystery and ambiguity, enveloping everyday objects in an enigmatic atmosphere. In the present work, three large apples painted in bold primary shades of red, yellow and blue act as part of a landscape; two of them stand firmly on the ground while the third is suspended in the air. Magritte relies upon the erotic associations of the apple as a symbol of carnal knowledge. The tantalizing appeal of this metaphorical object of desire gives the apples a seductively human aspect, a notion further accentuated by the title of the work. About the Posters
