René Magritte by Duane Michals, 1965
On Giorgio de Chirico:
“He is actually the first painter to have thought of making painting speak of something other than painting.”
—René Magritte, from a letter to André Bosmans, March 27, 1959, taken from Magritte: Ideas and Images by Harry Torczyner, translated by Richard Miller (Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1977)
“Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist” —René Magritte
Whereabouts and artist unknown, but a clever take on René Magritte.
