The connivance 1965

"The Connivance" is a 1965 painting by Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte. The painting features a large, gray fish balanced precariously on a stack of rocks, set against a backdrop of a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The scene, with its unexpected juxtaposition of elements, evokes a sense of mystery and absurdity, characteristic of Magritte's work. Magritte's paintings often challenge viewers' perceptions of reality, prompting them to question the nature of objects and the relationship between the visual and the conceptual. This painting is a fine example of Magritte's signature style, which utilizes everyday objects in unconventional ways to create dreamlike and thought-provoking imagery.
