Description:
|
|
One of the main elements that appear in the works of René Magritte is the bell, a recurring icon in his output that mysteriously evokes the painter’s infancy and which would later become part of the range of symbolic elements in his work. Pink Bells, Tattered Skies, is one of the paintings in which Magritte used this symbol, alongside another of his favorite motifs, clouds. As in other Magritte paintings where these "silent bells" appear, these ones are physically floating in the air, occupying one half of the painting, free of their weight, their function and their usual scale, which gives them an unreal appearance that emphasizes their oneiric power.
