The Magritte Egg

I just minted Egg #22 in the Fancy Egg series over on Opensea. This one is my favorite. It’s an homage to René François Ghislain Magritte, who in his work The Treachery of Images proclaimed beneath his famous representation of a tobacco pipe, “This is not a pipe.” Similarly, this is not an egg with a hat. It’s fitting that I do a piece for Magritte as he was the artist who most inspired this series. And as I stated in my first story, this is a photo collage piece, not a rendering, with the hat coming from a street portrait I did back in 2017.
