Empire of Light

This evening I am randomly posting up another of my favourite pics.

This is 'Empire of Light', by Rene Magritte.




I first saw this in the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. I just stood there for ages, staring at it. I don't know why. I still am not sure, but I've grown to love a lot of Magritte work. It just looks to me like he's painting dreams, with that weird dream logic, where it all almost hangs together, just slightly askew. It looks almost real, and yet totally unreal.

And he's wonderful. Just so fantastic...

art, things i love, my life in pictures
