In the paintings of Magritte (1898-1967), we see
the game with the subjective perception
of reality, full of seriousness and humor. He
achieved this by faithful
images of objects,
people, animals and plants.The
unexpected in his work is the way
in which these objects are combined
with each other or put opposite
each other.
His painting is like poetry that stimulates the
beholder's presumption of secrets.
Magritte's line of thought was that "as long as we believe that we are dependent on atoms and molecules that constitute our matter, we can not recognize that it is our eternal being from which we regard the material, which changes according to the perspective of looking".
