A man named René Magritte, drifting in the world of his dreams, fulfilled his desire to become a painter – of apples, hats, and apple-hats. In his works, leaves are lips, baguettes are noses, the right side is never up, but the upper side is never down either. Inspired by the work of René Magritte, one of the most beloved artists in the world, the imaginative book The Apple of Magritte will encourage readers of all ages to see the world around them with a different perspective.
