About A taste of the invisible

The artwork, titled “A Taste of the Invisible,” is an oil painting on canvas created by the acclaimed artist RenĂ© Magritte in 1927 during his time in Paris, France. This symbolic painting, measuring 73 x 100 cm, is a notable example of the Surrealism art movement.

The artwork features an enigmatic and dreamlike landscape, characteristic of Surrealism. It depicts an abstract scene with dominant blue and brown tones, incorporating elements such as intertwining trees and organic shapes that blend into one another. At the center of the composition, two large, irregular white forms stand vertically, resembling portals or openings in the forest. A shadowy figure, partially visible and painted in dark colors, appears to be emerging or dissolving within the scene. The forms and colors in the painting evoke a sense of mystery and the surreal, inviting viewers to explore the boundaries between the visible and the invisible realms.
