The Postcard 1960

René Magritte’s *The Postcard* (1960) is a prime example of Surrealism. The painting features a man in a suit standing on a stone wall, looking out at a distant mountain range. However, a giant green apple floats above his head, seemingly defying gravity. This juxtaposition of the ordinary and the extraordinary is characteristic of Magritte’s work, which often explores themes of perception, illusion, and the nature of reality. The painting’s muted colors and sharp details create a dreamlike atmosphere that invites the viewer to question what they are seeing.
