Mysteries of Rene Magritte
“Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.”
“Everything we see hides another thing, we always
want to see what is hidden by what we see.”
“If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is
also a transition of the dream.”
“We must not fear daylight just because it almost always
illuminates a miserable world.”
“Art evokes the mystery without which the world
would not exist.”
“Only thought can resemble. It resembles by being what it
sees, hears, or knows; it becomes what the world
offers it.”
“The mind loves the unknown. It loves images
whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.”
“My painting is visible images that conceal nothing… they
evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple
question ‘What does that mean?’ It does not mean
anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is
unknowable.”
Is there really a meaning?
It’s now your turn to interpret the images
decide if there really is meaning or if it will remain a mystery
