PA21MAG THE LOVERS, MAGRITTE. 10cm Made from resin with hand painted details. Includes color card with image of the original painting and a description of the artist.

 The Lovers (1928, Oil on canvas, 54 x 73 cm) was a Surrealist painting completed by Rene Magritte. It shows a man and a woman kissing, but shielded by cloaks wrapped on their heads. Their facial identities are hidden except for their clothes. The man wears a black business suit with tie and the woman a sleeveless top. Although their faces are covered by a veil, the lovers kiss passionately. The strangeness this creates is typical of Magritte's work. Behind the visible -- the kiss -- hides the invisible -- the emotion expressed by the face behind the veil.
