Text & Photos Chan Jun Park
The famous Belgian painter of Surrealism, René Magritte, who was known for painting naturalistic representations of objects, but made them alien by their unusual composition. No one but him could have come up with the idea of painting a naked woman on an empty bottle of wine. Last year, his work “Femme-Bouteille” from the year 1940/1941, which used a Bordeaux bottle ‘ as a canvas and portrayed a naked woman with oil paint, was sold at Christie’s in New York for 725,000 USD. The wine quote that spread through the US “Darling... be natural, take your clothes off! Show me your terroir” ts well with the works of René Magritte.
