This painting is my favorite painting. I really don't know why but ever since it was showcased in the 1999 version of "The Thomas Crown Affair", I took a liking to it. I want to get a good print of it put into a nice frame and hang it on my bedroom wall.
This painting was done by Rene Magritte in 1964, who is a Belgian surrealist painter. It was painted as a self portrait but with an apple covering most of the face.
Per Wikipedia, he said about the painting: "Everything we see hides another thing we always want to see what is hidden by what we see."
And that is how he based most of his work.
What I learned today was who painted this painting.
