1. This work by Magritte makes an aesthetic statement. The writing on the bottom moves the concept from the real (that it is a pipe), and transitions to the symbolic. The pipe signifies wealth and class during Magritte’s time. This is implied because we automatically draw the image from different texts. When I see interpret this image, I automatically think of the era in American history with the powerful oil tycoons and owners of big corporations.
