An apple a day keeps the faces away

Please join me in wishing Rene Magritte a HAPPY 110th Birthday!

I have loved this man's spooky ass paintings for years. YEARS! Sure it's a common artist to love, but what can I say? He's good. Real good. And an apple has never been so interesting.
""My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."
God that's hot. I love it. I came from a schooling system that taught us to dig deep into everything for its hidden chocolate-y center of yummy symbolism.

Rock on Magritte. Happy Birthday.
