Negative Sun Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Clicky Magritte is, after Dali, probably one of the best surrealist painters and one of the best painters, period, of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ah yes the famous apple in front of a man's face, a metaphor for man's love of apples and a bold statement against processed food with highly vaginal overtones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlos Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Well, I think in a very real sense there is a tone of sadness to it on at least three levels. A certain depression or tragedy that I cannot quite put my finger on. The entire experience of looking, of gazing upon the work was a transformative one: I felt I had been on a journey from ignorance to something else, really. Not sure what. Perhaps potatoes, perhaps carrots, but in either case I felt the apple was reaching out for something beyond itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
