"Man in a Bowler Hat" is a 1964 oil painting by Belgian Surrealist artist René Magritte. The artwork depicts a man in a suit wearing a bowler hat, with a white dove replacing his head. The painting's deceptive nature is characteristic of Magritte's style, inviting viewers to question the relationship between objects and perceptions. By substituting the man's head with a dove, Magritte explores themes of identity, perception, and the meaning of symbolism. The work's enigmatic quality has made it a popular and influential example of Surrealism.
