Pure reason 1948

"Pure Reason" (1948) by Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte, features a horse's head emerging from a forest of stylized, blue leaves. This iconic work exemplifies Magritte's signature style, challenging perception and presenting illogical juxtapositions. The horse's head, appearing as a singular element in a forest, disrupts our expectations of logic and invites viewers to question reality. The seemingly simple landscape and the horse's calm expression heighten the uncanny nature of the image, making it a captivating exploration of the mind's relationship with the world around it.
