☞ Do you know…

‣ The picture depicts a great eye whose iris, however, is a sky. The pupil in the center, highlighted here by our iconic red, represents the sun.

‣ Magritte is not much interested in the pictorial rendering of the work, but rather in its conceptual meaning capable of triggering a consideration on the reality that surrounds us. This painting represents the limits of human vision: the eye does not simply reflect like a #mirror but thinks and elaborates by offsetting our perception of the world.
