Magritte’s La Reproduction
In the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Rotterdam art museum, I saw many good works of art last fall including the interesting piece by René Magritte entitled La Reproduction Interdite. In English, the title translates to “Not to be Reproduced.” Magritte is one of the surrealist painters that I appreciate. I am intrigued by the way in which he see the world and the interesting poetic nature to his work. The book, in the painting, is in an accurate position while the man remains the same. The man remains anonymous, although the painting was painted as a portrait.
