Magritte

I don't know much about art, but when I come across someone whose work really speaks to me, I tend to get excited. Lately it's Rene Magritte who's been exciting me and... well, y'know. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - and a great way to learn.
One of the things I've learned about Magritte is that his mother died when he was young. She drowned herself, and he was there when they pulled her body from the river. She'd been wearing only a nightgown. As her body was recovered, the water pushed it up over her head. And that's how Magritte saw her - face covered, body exposed. And that... not surprisingly... influenced his work.
One of my favourite pieces of his is The Rape, in which a woman's breasts, navel and vagina take the place of her eyes, nose and mouth. Another of my faves of his (I don't know its name) is a woman with a mirror... not unlike my photo here... but reflected in her mirror is her naked body... from the back.
So this is kind of a combination of those two ideas.
It's been brewing for a long time. Feels good to get it out.

This is an older photo I did in SL that I recently re-discovered while sorting my computer harddrive folders. It's a tribute to the great surrealist painter Magritte.
One side of the future Magritte Museam, in Brussels, still in construction. The huge building is all covered by the great painters famours works - naturally I got the blue side. Happy week to all - enjoy ... and visit it if you can.

Instead of the pipe not being real,this passe partout is just a bit of pencil scrabbling and an illusion of shadow.
Magritte can take a joke,I think.

I put a served beer and my black hat on the table and took a picture.

Magritte dotó al surrealismo de una carga conceptual basada en el juego de imágenes ambiguas y su significado denotado a través de palabras poniendo en cuestión la relación entre un objeto pintado y el real.

The Brief:
Here we are at Week No. 13, and it is time to have some weird and wonderful fun! This week’s theme is “René Margritte”. Rene was a Belgium painter who specialized in surrealism in a everyday sort of way....
Your job this week is to either recreate one of his iconic paintings photographically or create an image for which you were inspired by his work...
