In December we visited the Magritte museum here in Brussels, and I gained a lot of insight into this man's mind, whom I had only known previously for a hat, an apple and a pipe (or not a pipe, if you prefer).
In July, during the National Day celebrations, we witnessed a group of drama students interpreting Magritte and his work. My talented fiance took a photograph which subsequently inspired me to make this album (during the super-rainy August we had). But I knew there was more. I just had to wait for it to come out.
And this is what came out:
A tribute to Magritte, to Brussels, to Belgium, to art. Here are the 'don't be afraid' splodges:
And there you go. That's my homage to Magritte.
OOH that is lovely, I like the colours, they all go so well together. Love the way the little splodges of paint look so fluid and natural.. great font as well.
