René Magritte, Gertrude Abercrombie, and Alex Katz Feel Like Summer

Magritte's aim was not to create fantasy for its own sake but to provoke thought by revealing the strangeness all around us. To him, fantasy was about making the familiar unfamiliar so that we could see reality anew. Always with a subtle sense of humor, like summer, decadent, witty, curious, and strange.

doesn't reality always feel a bit tenuous in summer? The way the days lose structure, how they blend into one another, how time moves in funny ways.
