Appetizers
René Magritte:
Time Transfixed

René Magritte was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well-known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images. His work frequently displays a juxtaposition of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things. The representational use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting, The Treachery of Images (La trahison des images), which shows a pipe that looks as though it is a model for a tobacco store advertisement. Magritte painted below the pipe "This is not a pipe" (Ceci n’est pas une pipe), which seems a contradiction, but is actually true: the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe.

This Is Not a Pipe

This Is Not A Pipe:
with illustrations & letters by René Magritte

What does it mean to write "This is not a pipe" across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? René Magritte’s famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte’s visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction.

How To…
use found objects in assemblage!

Collage artists and other crafters looking for a change of pace may want to try their hand at an assemblage. An assemblage moves beyond the two-dimensional restrictions of collage. In an assemblage, you create a three-dimensional composition using discarded, found, or recycled objects including bottle caps, flattened metal, broken tile, clock pieces, screws, bolts, wire, pieces of glass, broken pottery, rusted metals, buttons, beads, or nails or marbles. There is no limit to the types of materials that can be incorporated!

"As a retired teacher of 34 years, I am happily doing all the art I had no time to do during my career. While I still teach online 5 hours every weekday (in my pajamas without starting my car!), I am able to happily pursue forms of art that have appealed to me for many years. Some of my other interests include mixed & altered media, quilting, purse-making, traveling to visit my three sons & grandchildren (who are scattered all over the world), community & library volunteer work, & of course, making art!" – CharmdImSur
