About Magritte Pillow Case – The Horrendous Stopper (1966) – Red

This Magritte Pillow Case is a decorative pillow featuring a Surrealist painting of Magritte representing a bowler hat labelled “For external use only”, as though it were the stopper for a container filled with dreams or subversive thoughts. Magritte was a painter of ideas; a painter of visible thoughts, rather than of subjects. He valued neither lyrical nor the abstraction. He described his paintings saying: ” My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, ‘What does that mean?’ It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing, it is unknowable.” Magritte was an artist who has always created astonishment, and has remained a major figure of Surrealism. In this collection of pillows, each pattern combines realistic elements and abstract representations: it is a rediscovery of the surreal world, full of magic and mystery!
