Artist Reference 2

Title: The man in the bowler hat

Artist: René  Magritte

                                                                                      

                                                                                         

               In this painting a man in the bowler hat's face is hidden behind a dove.

               My interpretation of this painting is that  the man is very serene.

               A dove usually symbolises peace and serenity. Well on the other

               hand, this picture can also mean that the man is trying to put on

               a serene and peaceful look to hide his (I guess) troubled looks.

               I have decided to use his style of juxtaposing things to hide

               others.

               This painting has a direct impact on the viewers and it makes

               people wonder what the picture is about. Thence I have decided

               to combine both ideas (from Claude Monet) to create my own

               painting.
