An Analysis on “The False Mirror” By Rene Magritte

The False Mirror” by Rene Magritte, is a painting created in 1929, which depicts an eye looking at the clouds in the sky. Rene Magritte published this painting in 1929, but completed the creation of it during World War 1. The fear of the War led to the inspirations of many paintings, including Rene Magritte, during that time period. Rene Magritte expresses the vision of the people of war through this painting. The main focus of this painting is the lifeless portrayal of the eye, as the pupil is dead black. In contrast to the lifeless portrayal of the pupil, the iris of the eye is full of color and emotion, as depicted through the light blue sky and white clouds. The color of the flesh surrounding this eye is dull beige. The shadows around the corner of the painting seem to put emphasis on the eye itself, rather than imagining the face as a whole. What’s interesting is the absence of eyelashes on the eyes of the observer. <a href="https://rrsuh.medium.com/an-analysis-on-the-false-mirror-by-rene-magritte-5f9cf4f2c03c">Read More</a>
