The original, “The Lovers”, by the Belgian Surrealist Rene Magritte in 1928, is an iconic image of alienation, and the challenge of intimacy or vulnerability. [It is presently displayed at Museum of Modern Art in NYC.]
My girlfriend Susan had a college Humanities class assignment earlier this year, which gave us the opportunity to re-stage it as a photo. This was one of the creative highlights of 2020 for me. It wasn’t exactly my idea, but I’m a long-time fan of Magritte’s work, so I’m happy to pay him tribute (not to mention playing second banana to my own lover, and giving her primary credit).
