"the song of
the sirens"
(1952), shows
a man facing
the sea with
his back to
the viewer.  on
the wall behind
him are a
lighted candle
and a leaf.  by
hiding the face
of the man and
by using the
candle and leaf
as symbols, the
artist sets a
mood of mystery
and wonder.

"the voice of the
winds" (1928),
uses the symbolic
imagery of three
bells hovering
over a landscape.
magritte said of
the painting,
"i'd prefer to
believe that the
iron bells hang-
ing from our fine
horse's necks
grew there like
poisonous plants
on the edge of
precipices."

magritte painted
many images of
tobacco pipes.
this picture, "the
philosopher's
lamp"(1935), shows
a man with his
nose stuffed in
the bowl of his
pipe.  a snake-
like candle sits
beside him.

magritte once
stated: "the
famous pipe.
how people
reproach me for
it!  and yet,
could you stuff
my pipe?  no,
it's just a
representation,
is it not?  so
if i had written
on my picture
'this is a
pipe,' i'd have
been lying!"

"the red model"
(1935) demonstrates
the power of th
surrealist image
here we hav
something w
experience every
day when we are
dressing: the
uniting of the foot
with the shoe.  but
the artist shows
us just how
frightening the
most ordinary
things can be when
looked at from a
slightly different
point of view.

our last
picture, "the
lovers" (1928)
is an intense
depiction of
emotion even
though the
faces that we
expect to convey
the emotion are
masked. the
covered heads
present a sense
of isolation more
fully than if the
expressions were
completely
revealed to us.

in this painting
the thought is
more important
than the view.
magritte makes us
hear the unheard
silence.
