This Is Not an Apple 1964 by Rene Magritte — Fine Art

This Is Not an Apple 1964 keeps the familiar fruit apart from its name, a habit that runs through the work of Rene Magritte. The painted apple sits on a plain field, and the written line turns the object into a puzzle rather than food.

The object here is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. When the ready to hang option is used, it arrives assembled. The matte surface keeps the green of the apple soft, so no shine pulls the eye away from the label.

It fits a narrow kitchen wall above the kettle. From the breakfast table you read the green circle first, then the words below it, and the room stays calm while you make tea.
