Actually, sorry to say it's not Magritte, it's Meret Oppenheim

i remember seeing this in moma a while ago... i think the concept had something to do with lesbianism, if i remember correctly.

carol ann duffy certainley made the lesbian connection, I wonder if that's what the artist intended?

Oh God. I was an art history major in college and I remember looking at that slide. It gave me the creeps and still haunts me to this day!

It is a art pice from Meret Oppenheim and called "le dejeuner en forrure" and as i recall it it has nothing to do with lesbianism. Oppenheim first covered bracelets with fur then the cup
