Perception is not all what you think...

8/21/2017

 
Rene Magritte, a surrealist painter explored the psychological aspects of images.
He was known for his "treachery of images" and the more famous painting "Son of Man"

The "Treachery of Images" consisted of objects that were not real, because they were merely a painting of the image of an object. It's about perception, including "Son of Man".- Magritte purposely hid the face, knowing the viewer would be more interested.
​
It's in our DNA to prefer ambiguity rather than the obvious, since reveling our preconditioned perceptions of reality gives unexpected results.

Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see." - Rene Magritte

and for just today... let the sun be hidden by the moon for your enjoyment! 😊
