Magritte - The Treachery of Images

The Treachery of Images (1929)- René Magritte
Is this image the progenitor of modern art? By painting this picture and putting that text underneath, Magritte may have sparked a revolution in art.
And is it a pipe? What does that question even mean...

Instant fan here, as someone who uses Magritte's pipe on my Twitter profile, slightly adjusted for the pandemic era. I literally stuffed his virtual pipe with a virtual representation of a "virus."

[@artmeetsgeoff]

Good one!

*”Who kisses like this?”... Have you been through the current pandemic?*

[@artmeetsgeoff]

Am I really here? Do I exist or am I a figment of (someones) imagination? Is the sky really blue? What is art? An empty white room in the Tait gallery, a large yellow (peril) box on the river, Duchamp's man's urinal... all portrayed as "art". Warhol's Campbell soup tin, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon lp cover, a Pinifarina designed 1950s Ferrari... all considered to be works of art. Yet nothing like a great painting from say, Leonardo or Caravaggio or even van Gogh, whose paintings are of recognisable subject matter. Form, colour, construction, medium, space and time all are elements in man's creative expression. We call it ART. But is it? Or do we just imagine it is. A very thought provoking review.

[@artmeetsgeoff]

Thanks. I like that art makes us think.

[@kayhan4395]

Fantastic work, do you have a blog?

[@artmeetsgeoff]

Thanks. No, I just do CZcams. Might think about more.
