Description
The most famous image from the father of surrealism, Rene Magritte.  The image was memoralized by the 1999 movie "The Thomas Crown Affair".  When asked about the painting in 1964, Magritte said, "Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see, but it is impossible.  Humans hide their secrets too well...."  From a posthumous 1973 edition of Magritte's 1964 painting based on a self-portrait.  Magritte approved the print prior to his death, but died before it was signed.  Inscribed in French by his widow Georgette Magritte in the lower left: " Lithographie est apres le tableau de mon man Rene Magritte Le Fils de l'homme"-Georgette Magritte.  Condition:  minor wear  along the edges, otherwise, in fine condition. Size:  35" x 26" (unframed) Edition: 90/150 Rare find for the discriminating collector.  Number 94 sold at Swann Galleries in New York last May for $13,200.00.
