Memory of a journey 1955

"Memory of a Journey" (1955) by René Magritte, a prominent Surrealist painter, depicts the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa seemingly propped up by a large feather. This paradoxical juxtaposition challenges the viewer's perception of reality and evokes a sense of the absurd. The painting's meticulous realism and dreamlike imagery are characteristic of Magritte's style, further enhancing the surreal nature of the scene. The artwork, created during the peak of Magritte's career, has become a recognizable symbol of Surrealist art and continues to intrigue viewers with its enigmatic composition.
