René Magritte
*The man with melon*
(1898 - 1967)
This figure is a very successful replica, from the museum collection, created by the artists of the Parastone Ateliers
This portrait of the man with the well -known melon from 1964 can be seen as a variation of "The Son of the Man", where the man's face is hidden behind an apple. Magritte said:
"Behind everything we see, something else is hidden, we always want to see what is hidden from what we see. There is an interest in hidden and what the visible does not show us. This interest can cause so strong feelings that one can speak of a struggle between the visible that is hidden and actually visible. "
