Ceci n'est pas une pipe
Oh Magritte you magnificent bastard!
You created a philosophical debate over such an absurd statement as "Ceci n'est pas une pipe". What a bold statement to make! So simple and yet so deep! And what is it with the psychology references? Paintings such as The Pleasure Principle, The Interpretation of Dreams, and of course the Psychologist! Is this how you imagine us? Have we offended you in any way? Or is this how you show your love for we explorers of the mind?
I am torn between verbally attacking you and loving you. Do I want to speak out against surrealism or hang your work on my wall? Would putting the Psychologist on a T-shirt and wearing it to Abnormal be a good thing or would it be an insult to my future profession? These are questions that I must look deep into the art world to discover an answer for. Even if that means I have to endure the pain of...ugg...modern art and probe the senseless dribble of the subjective art world. But in the end I still may find, regarless of your taste for psychology, that I am still a fan.
