The Lovers (Magritte)

Uncommon card · No. 100144

The Lovers (French: Les Amants (French pronunciation: [lez‿amɑ̃])) is a surrealist painting by René Magritte, made in Paris in 1928. It is the first in a series of four variations, depicting two people kissing passionately with each of their faces covered in a white cloth. The barrier of fabric transforms an act of passion, such as a kiss, into an act of frustration, representing the lovers who cannot be together. Currently, it is located in the MoMA of New York City, as a part of Richard S. Zeisler's collection.
