Magritte's "the Son of Man"


"The Son of Man" is a painting made by Rene Magritte in 1964. The painting consists of a man in an overcoat and a bowler hat standing in front of a small wall, beyond which is the sea and a cloudy sky. The man's face is largely obscured by a hovering green apple. However, the man's eyes can be seen peeking over the edge of the apple. Another subtle feature is that the man's left arm appears to bend backwards at the elbow.

Well, you should take a look at this parody version of the painting, it's hillarious how it illustrate what happened before and after of the painting
