Collective unconscious

So, I knew while I was in Joyce Tenneson's workshop that one of my pieces was echoing a surrealist artist (not intentionally). I couldn't however remember who it was or the title of the paintings.

I have since discovered it was Rene Magritte. And there were even more images that echo his work than I was aware of.

Compare this one with Man in the Bowler Hat, or The Son of Man
(http://www.mcs.csuhayward.edu/~malek/Magrit1.html).




Or this one with The Lovers (http://www.mcs.csuhayward.edu/~malek/Magrit1.html).


Or this one with The Postcard (http://junomain.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/lacartepostale.jpg).





Freaky, right?!
