Magritte liked to 'poke' us though his reputation is such that it would easily be considered a 'super poke' by international standards. Remind you of anyone.... ?

An important key to understanding this Belgian artist (1898-1967) is illustrated by his seemingly straight-forward painting of a pipe entitled "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("This is not a pipe," it is an "image" of a pipe). Magritte's opus operandi was to challenge our pre-conceived notions of how we look at our world. The Granny Smith apple is used in the same way the pipe is and is not coming out of the man's nose. It is hiding his, probably Magritte's, own face, Mike. What is hidden by what we see?

Why so existential today, Mr. C? Shouldn't you be out on the porch drinking beer and manning the barbeque?

Happy Father's Day to all.
