A striking reinterpretation of Magritte’s famous painting The Son of Man, the kokeshi doll features a sleek black suit, a cloud-patterned tie, and the iconic bowler hat. Most notably, the face is obscured by a vivid green apple, reflecting the artist’s signature themes of mystery, illusion, and perception. Magritte’s work often plays with juxtaposition, combining familiar elements in unexpected ways to challenge viewers’ perceptions. The bowler hat, frequently seen in his paintings, represents the ordinary, while the apple introduces an element of the surreal, creating an interplay between the seen and the hidden. The cloud-patterned tie further enhances the dreamlike quality of the piece, tying together different motifs Magritte explored throughout his career.
René Magritte Kokeshi Tribute is a collaboration with Artists Rights Society.
