La Trahison des images (The Treachery of Images) produced in 1928, is an oil painting on canvas (63.5 × 93.98 cm) of the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. To give your eyes the magic of this painting, we invite you to take a trip to Califiornia, because it is preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. As in many of his paintings, Magritte evokes mystery by using a veiling device, concealing the contents of the bottom-right compartment behind a paper cut screen. The picture shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted Ceci n’est pas une pipe but rather an image of a pipe. This masterpiece of Surrealism creates a three-way paradox out of the conventional notion that objects correspond to words and images. The pipe’s deep shades of brown, its center placement on the canvas, and a background the color of bleached bones illustrate how contemporary art can have meaning.
