Magritte believed that reality is a matter of perception. For example, in both paintings of The Human Condition, the viewer is prevented from seeing the actual subject matter being painted, because it is blocked by the artist’s painting of the subject matter. We are only allowed to see what we are allowed to see. Such is the case, as Magritte stated, with life. Time and distance lose relevance as perception moves to the forefront.
In both paintings, the outline of the easel is barely discernible, which has been interpreted by some to show the fine line between reality and perception. However, as one views these paintings, it is difficult to not see the “painting of a painting” as perception. The fact that the painting in the picture is partially covering up the subject of the very same painting may be significant because it is a recurring theme throughout Magritte’s work. It is believed that Magritte, whose exterior demeanor covered up a very different interior, is the inspiration for these works.
