Magritte used a highly illusionist painting technique to make the viewer think about the real object and the painted imitation of the object.

In his painting "The lovers", he uses realistic painting techniques and questions the sense and meaning of the work.

What does God's Salon the painting by Rene Magritte represent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Magritte wrote about this painting; 'I can imagine a sunny landscape under a night sky; only a god is capable of visualizing it and conveying it through the medium of paint, however. In the expectation that I will become one, I am dropping the project...'

It takes a few reads to understand that statement, but basically he says the painting is a (cliche?) sunny landscape but how it would look at night. its part of surrealism.
