[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Alright… so it’s no hiding that I think Surrealism is crap. I do like Magritte though, I don’t really understand how he gets roped in with these clowns because he actually has concepts behind his art and a loose reason for doing them (to make peeps more conscious of their surroundings [hypersensitive he sez]). This piece for instance… later he writes, “can you put tobacco in this? This is a painting, not a pipe. It’s a representation of a pipe.” (totally not word for word, but you get the picture).
