Decades after completing his most famous painting — a depiction of a pipe inscribed This is Not a Pipe — Rene Magritte here revisits this iconography with The Shadows (1966). The same masculine- identified object covers ominously behind a  tree, inspired by a Surrealist play with arbitrary scale, and what the artist would term the “logic“ of dreams.
