Magritte by the Sea

August 5, 2007

Another homage to my favourite Belgian artist. Rene Magritte's oft repeated motif of the man in the bowler hat (or men in bowler hats in one of his paintings where the sky seems to be raining them) always captured my imagination.
Magritte's playful use of the seemingly everyday in unexpected contexts inspire me to compose shots like The Quiet Room as seen previously here.
