Magritte Sky Burst Sky Bust

______________________________________________________________________________________


Rene Magritte 
The Future of Statues
Think not
About a liver spot
Think cool
Think Tate Liverpool

Beyond  Penny Lane
Where clouds make rain

There is a museum
where you can see him

He is  a sky-painted bust
By an artist in whom I trust

Footnotes
I think THINK FOR YOURSELF, a song by four lads from Liverpool,
is an appropriate soundtrack for this page but feel free to think
otherwise or think other ways.

I know your mind's opaque is a line from the George Harrison composition.
The youngest of the Beatles could have been thinking of  the cloudy sky bust. 


Rene Magritte painted The Future of Statues in 1937, three years
before John Lennon, the eldest of the Beatles, was born.

Professor Magritte is the Post-humous Chair of the LCSoL Art Department.

The next Beatles' page is here.
