The Treachery of Images (French: La Trahison des Images) is a 1929 painting by Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. It is too known as This Is Not a Pipe [ii] and The Wind and the Song.[three] Magritte painted it when he was thirty years old. It is on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[1]

The painting shows an prototype of a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, " Ceci n'est pas une pipe ", French for "This is not a piping".

The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And even so, could yous stuff my pipe? No, it'southward just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my movie "This is a pipe", I'd have been lying!

—René Magritte[four]

The theme of pipes with the text "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" is extended in Les Mots et Les Images,[5] La Clé des Songes,[6] Ceci n'est pas une pipage (Fifty'air et la chanson),[7] The Melody and Besides the Words,[eight] Ceci n'est pas une pomme,[9] and Les Deux Mystères.[10]

The painting is sometimes given as an example of meta bulletin conveyed by paralanguage,[11] like Alfred Korzybski'south "The give-and-take is not the thing" and "The map is not the territory", equally well every bit Denis Diderot'due south This is not a story. One interpretation is that the pipage in the painting is not a pipe, but rather a drawing of a pipe.

On December 15, 1929, Paul Éluard and André Breton published an essay virtually poesy in La Révolution surréaliste (The Surrealist Revolution) as a reaction to the publication by poet Paul Valéry "Notes sur la poésie" in Les Nouvelles littéraires of September 28, 1929. When Valéry wrote "Poetry is a survival", Breton and Éluard made fun of it and wrote "Poetry is a pipe", as a reference to Magritte'due south painting.[12]

In the aforementioned edition of La Révolution surréaliste, Magritte published "Les mots et les images" (his founding text which illustrated where words play with images), his answer to the survey on beloved, and Je ne vois pas la [femme] cachée dans la forêt, a painting tableau surrounded by photos of xvi surrealists with their eyes closed, including Magritte himself.
