About The Treachery of Images
This is not a pipeor is it? Such is the question presented by The Treachery of Images, a classic example of surrealist art by famous Belgian painter, Ren Magritte.
The Treachery of Images is part of a series of paintings featuring images paired with words. In his signature deadpan illustrative style, Magritte challenges the viewer with the paradox of language and visual representation.
He states Ceci nest pas une pipe (This is not a pipe) because it is not a pipe: it is a picture of one. Unabashedly simple, this oil on canvas is a masterpiece of surrealism.
