Thats the beauty of this classic! It makes you think!
Yes, that is definitely true. I am still thinking about it. A series of blogs can be dedicated to exploring just this one piece.
Nice thoughts, I think Magritte always did his art to let you start thinking, so everybody should have their own meaning to extract from it. Thanks for your comment! :)
Our thinking is expressed by our left brain, and this piece is definitely a right brain stimulant. I have been thinking until now, maybe, I need to stop linear, reductionist analysis and let the right brain engage.
