Son of a man.

Things may not seem such

What you see may not be real

But who is to say?

Hey there. So who is behind that infamous painting of a pipe? Or so you think. Ceci n'est pas une pipe. Basically translates to "This is not a pipe". Belgian surrealist painter (yes my favourite kind of painters), Rene Magritte is the man responsible for the painting above and if you can see below, a photo of him with yet another famous painting of his titles The Pilgrim. I have seen a few of Magritte's paintings but never really went into depth about who painted it and everything.

The Pilgrim, 1966

The Human Condition, 1933

 This particular piece interest me, makes one think about what we see and what we are made to see/believe. With all the controversies and conspiracies around the world, don't you think this painting makes much sense?

 The Son of Man, 1964

Golconde, 1963

So yeah, Rene Magritte and his surrealist paintings. One famous artist who was influenced by Magritte's surrealistic approach to art is Andy Warhol and i am such a big fan of surrealism i need to get out of my confort zone and experiment more on other techniques, really. Till then.
