almond blossom x magritte

almond blossom x magritteIn this striking homage to Vincent van Gogh's Almond blossom, Ren Magritte transposes the emblematic tree into a surreal world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The flowering branches rise beneath a blue sky crossed by clouds that seem suspended in a mysterious temporality. Around the tree, floating objects such as bowler hats and windows defy gravity, evoking the unknown and dreams. This version of the work embodies the spirit of Magritte,

symbolizing their spiritual connection

with a white background enhanced by touches of bright colours

The painting reveals a lake with calm waters

The painting is composed of a multitude of geometric shapes

yellow and blue flashes in the background

brings out the animal's vivid symbolism

The bare trees and buildings on the horizon form delicate silhouettes

Fields by the Sea is a painting that perfectly embodies Gauguin's approach to the Post-Impressionist movement

the red Eiffel Tower is a self-quotation by the artist

an exponent of realism

each fruit a symbol

In this vision recreated in the style of Yayoi Kusama
