Magritte or the Object Lesson

Original title: La Leçon de choses ou Magritte
Duration: 14 min
Release date: 1960-01-01
IMDB

The surrealist painter René Magritte questions the objective reality and emphasizes the arbitrariness of the relationship between an object, its image and its name: the evocation of mystery consists of images of familiar things gathered or transformed in such a way that they no longer conform to our ideas, whether naive or wise.
