René Magritte, The Deceptiveness of Pictures

René Magritte’s iconic piece, The Treachery of Images, flips the script on how we see things with its cheeky line, Ceci n’est pas une pipe – or, This is not a pipe. The artwork draws a clear line between the actual object and its portrayal, nudging us to rethink how much we trust what we see. Magritte’s idea shines a light on how images can be a bit sneaky, playing with the tricky dance between words, pictures, and what’s real.
