Tuesday Night iPhone Photos – This is not a Magritte
July 31, 2012 5 Comments
My L.A. hotel was within walking distance of LACMA – the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Well, it was within walking distance for a tourist who thinks it’s okay to forgo the valet parking and engage in twenty minutes of mild exercise.
LACMA was well worth it for several reason, but most of all for Rene Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images (This Is Not a Pipe).” It was my first encounter with Magritte’s 1929 masterpiece and one of those surreal (so to speak) moments, as there wasn’t anyone else in the room. Just me and the not-pipe.

About Matthew
Was there a “Thank you for not smoking” sign in the room with you?
With a circle and a slash through it, just to make it more confusing?
For a scenery/prop-making final at college a friend of mine made fully functional “No Handicap Parking” signs. I suggested he include “From 4PM to 10AM”
That reminds me of the first episode of Louie from this season, which included conflicting signage, some of which were indecipherable, like “Parking Permitted Anytime After Midnight.” Which is, of course, anytime…
…or an Eric Clapton-only parking space.
