Perspective 

Here we see René Magritte's "Perspective" in which a peculiar chair, made of doors, stands prominently. Doors have long been symbols of transition and choice, from ancient Roman thresholds guarded by Janus, to Christian allegories of the 'door to salvation'. But consider how Magritte presents this symbol. Instead of inviting passage, these doors form an enclosure, an imposing throne. The chair, traditionally a seat of authority, is here barricaded, inaccessible. One might recall images of fortified castles, symbols of power, yet also of isolation. This transformation reflects a deeper psychological tension. The desire for authority clashes with a fear of exposure, a need to shield oneself. The chair becomes a vessel of conflicting impulses, a frozen symbol in the flux of history. Its presence is a powerful testament to our subconscious understanding of power, both alluring and isolating.
