Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary

During the Magritte exhibit i stumbled upon the painting La Faux Miroir by Rene Magritte. This painting has a lone Eye with clouds all around the Iris of it. I find this painting to be absolutely incredible. The meaning i get from it is what someone sees in his perception while at the same time being limited to what the actual person can see. It's like a window into the brain and imagination which can ironically let the person visualize anything he wants even more. This alone can be the bridge to fantasy and reality. We can also get back to how simplistic it can by describing it as just someone looking into the sky gazing in awe, either way the subjectiveness of this painting alone can make a person just sit down and wonder about anything.
