A Young Girl Meets René Magritte

The Eye
René Magritte
c.1932-1935
The Art Institute of Chicago

A bird flies through the sky above the ocean.
Inside the small room, a giant green cup stands.
Dinner is set up with an eye in the soup.
A hungry man eats with four arms.
A reflection of a man.
A flash of light for a man’s head
A stone man and a lion stand by a table.
A rock under a rain cloud on top of the ocean waves.
The fish has legs, lying in the sand.
Feet as shoes with laces.
A camouflage horse and a lady.
Curtains and a piece of clouds shaped like curtains.
By this big house, it is dark, but it is light in the sky.
A train comes out of a fireplace.
A cage on a wall with a big egg inside.
The shelves have pictures.
