The Treachery of Images was painted when Magritte was 30 years old. The picture shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” French for “This is not a pipe.” This masterpiece of Surrealism creates a three-way paradox out of the conventional notion that objects correspond to words and images.
