"The Fifth Season " René Magritte, 1943 ; Oil on Canvas
Art Movement : Surrealism
Magritte Museum - Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium
The painting presents two bowler-hatted artists crossing paths,or is it the same artist coming and going at the same time ...?
"All that I desire is to be enriched by intensely exciting new thoughts." René Magritte
The Fifth Season offers a new understanding of Magritte’s special position in the history of 20th-century art.His Art challenges the observer's perceptions of reality.Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.When we look at a painting,we wonder about what is imagined and what is real.Is it about the reality of appearances or the appearance of reality? The painter himself gave the best answer :
"What’s genuinely real,there’s only a certain time when we get that feeling.And that’s what I try to express with my paintings."
René Magritte
The Belgian Surrealist René Magritte (1898–1967) was one of the most intriguing painters associated with the iconic Surrealist style.He balanced philosophy and fantasy to illuminate the gaps between what we see and what we know. His artful paradoxes reawaken age-old questions about what the senses apprehend,
what awareness and reflection contribute,and how we know.How do we understand and experience reality? How can painting help us contend with the ambiguities that surround us? Can art reflect these uncertain relationships in the world? Magritte’s work opened up these questions and many more that are still being examined.He playfully explored new styles,but his painting remained consistent in its cautionary message not to equate the observable world with the paradoxes within reality.
- For the Art Lovers -The painting next to "The Fifth Season" is :
"Flame" René Magritte, 1943 - Oil on Canvas, Surrealism
Beautiful painting!What connotations does "Flame" have for you? Any optimistic interpretations ? Alas.To me,Flame in a densely treed area reminds me of wildfires and the vicious circle that climate change worsens fires and fires worsen climate change.
PS : The Painter's' Insight into the Future

June 1, 2019 in Northern Hemisphere and the observable effects of Global Climate Change.
Most Art in our current moment stands to address Climate Change in order to resonate deeply in our collective consciousness.Earth is changing face,we are under constant pressure of imminent disaster as our world is plagued by extended periods of climate disarray.It feels as if we should be prepared for "The Fifth Season ....
"I think we are responsible for the universe,but that doesn't mean we decide anything." Rene Magritte

Fifth Element is one of the movies I’ll watch over and over again.
I’ve been working on this taxi from the movie for quite a long time and finished it today. Difficulty in getting the right parts (and learning a few things about some popular Bricklink sellers), a mishap that caused me to order a new set of stickers, plus this is a fragile model and has come apart more than once. But it’s done and as soon as I find the minifigs I bought to go with it…

A rare sight - Fifth Avenue virtually empty! NYC was forecast for an historic blizzard, but the storm veered off and we got just a modest amount of snow. But in preparation, the city had instituted a motorist ban (except emergency vehicles) and shut down the subway system. So a rare sight indeed as this is usually nonstop heavy traffic.

This year the FFF+ have decided to change their monthly challenge from "Five On The Fifth" (FOTF) to “Freestyle on the Fifth”, so still a theme every month, and to be posted on the 5th of the month, but this year it does not have to be five images, it is up to the member to choose a single photo or a collage/composite of how ever many photos they like. The theme will still be set a member of the group each month.
This month Di www.flickr.com/photos/photosbydi7 chose the theme of 'Upside Down'
