The Empire Of Lights

1954

by René Magritte

Original Dimensions: 146 x 113.7 cm

The Empire of Lights shows an obvious contrast between night and day, light and dark. With his paintings Magritte is very capable of raising questions (why?) but not answering them. It grabs the attention but it doesn't immediately show the reason why.
