I guess I need to visit this one
A museum completely dedicated to the works of Magritte is in the planning stages. His most famous work, of course, the apple-in-front-of-face “Son of Man,” will be there.

It’s summer. I would bet that, right now, the vast majority of you are living in places that are quite warm, not to say hot. I don’t know about you, but although I love summer–glorious flowers, lazy hazy crazy days … Continue reading →
