Suggestion Box: Art V. Le Faux Miroir, Magritte

about

"Le Faux Miroir" by Magritte was suggested by my long time friend, brilliant mind, and psychological thriller enthusiast Ashley Wessman.

Here's Ashley on why she suggested the artwork:

"'Le Faux Miroir' or 'The False Mirror' by René Magritte is a piece that has really spoken to me for a long time. I have always loved his work, his way to take something seemingly normal and paint it in a way that makes it thought-provoking; a pipe that's not a pipe, an apple to cover a face, lovers cloaked in cloth. This one particularly just struck me. Something normal, and eye, mixed with the sky and - with a title like that - the interpretations are endless.

Are we talking about how people hide their true selves, or how we see ourselves in others? Is it a commentary on the sky itself and why it appears blue? Depending on the day and my mood, I have a different feeling and I know others do too. The ability of this painting to elicit such different feelings and interpretations makes it very powerful. It's such a neat example of how art, in all its forms, conveys emotion and meaning."
