René Magritte, L'explication, 1952 Oil on canvas 80 x 60 cm. (31 1/2 x 23 5/8 in.) This painting is surrealist. It is painted in a realist manner. it repesents a wooden table. Over this table is a mysterious object in the shape of a bottle, the bottom of this object seems to be made of glass like a regular bottle but the top looks like the tip of a very large carrot. The top of this object is painted exactly like the tip of a normal carrot. The top and the bottom of this object merge together and blend in smooth shades of color between orange and black. Next to this mysterious object is a regular black wine bottle. On the right of the regular wine bottle there is a carrot over the table as well.
