The artwork titled “Collage” by Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte, created in 1966, is a symbolic painting executed in a mix of collage, pencil, and ink. It forms part of the Surrealist art movement.
The artwork depicts an intriguing composition where a large, yellow hand appears to be in a praying position on an elevated platform against the backdrop of a beach and sky. A sphere featuring a fragment of a human face hovers above the hand. To the right, a red curtain extends upwards from the platform, partially framing the scene. In the distance, two indistinct, dark figures can be seen standing on the beach. The elements, while disparate, are masterfully arranged to convey a surreal and symbolic narrative characteristic of Magritte’s oeuvre.
