Les Amonts


I absolutely love the whole idea of this painting. It's by Rene Magritte, I admire most of his works actually. People are entirely too deep to be judged upon their physical appearance. Although society today known generalizing, in a superficial matter, people, words, cultures to make it less concrete. These two lovers (Painting "The Lovers") are kissing each other with no need to see each others faces. Possibly this painting could go deeper than that, maybe 'the lovers' is just a symbol for any sort of humanly contact, that you don't need a face to prove something? Your appearance just shouldn't matter. An ideal physical appearance is exactly how one is going to judge you it seems.
I wish society was blind.
Or, I want to meet someone sees in my same perspective? That when you speak to someone you just need to look at their eyes and not tear apart their appearance.






Oh by the way, Magritte apparently painted this in reaction of his mother drowning in the river. (Canvas reaction)
I tend to do research on my favorite paintings.
