I love Magritte. His work ignites my imagination, as does Escher's. "Not To Be Reproduced" is one of my favorites of Magritte. I find it pretty philosophical, as it seems to hint at a doppelgänger theme that can be found in Shelley, David Lynch, and this short story I wrote for our short story contest. What exactly that theme is I don't know, but it pulls at the strings of what it means to be a human being, which makes it philosophical, since philosophy is about being a human being.

Wasn’t familiar with his work until now. I recognized the one with the apple in front of the guys face. It was a cover to a Searle book I read.

Anyway, I liked some of the images I found. I think you can find double meanings in some of his works; like “the false mirror” or “clairvoyance” or “the double secret.” Some of it seems absurdist, and just playing with reality, but I think that counts as philosophical. I also posted a couple Slavec Gruca paintings in the beautiful things thread. I see some resemblance between the two artists. Gruca is just on deviant art as far as I can tell, if you’re interested.

I like him too. I even have a book about him. Of Escher too. He's great. And he truly has the skills. Both are very philo. Philart! The selfportrait in that ball... Wow. I don't know if Magritte did one. How would he have painted himself?
