I have been absolutely fascinated with the French philosopher Michael Foucault and the Surrealist painter Rene Magrittee. These two men had a wonderful exchange about a work Magrittee painted called: This is Not A Pipe.
I frequently return and reread the exchange because it is all about reality and just is reality. A topic that has fascinated me before the movie “The Matrix” but when The Matrix made visible what philosopher’s have been debating for a long time and still are.
This morning I came across the writer Sol LeWill – I have come across is writing frequently but this little saying he wrote hit the nail on the head for me.
Obviously a drawing of a person
Is not a real person, but the drawing
Of a line is a real line.
