@rtms1988 why? I prefer MAgritte. He makes thinking visual

@pirenne I also enjoy very much Magritte's painting, but now, talking this painting made by Manet, I love so much because I think she's a dreamer. She's dreaming with the perfect client, but he didn't came yet, the refletion in the mirror and her face are the proove.

@rtms1988 oh, well...anyhow, theres a thing about painting thats been annoying me lately. If you paint a face, people will say:its a face. But its not a face. Its just a skintone blur in the canvas! Theres nothing there but somehow beautiful composition of dots that eventually become lines! And it bugs me.
