"This Is Not A Pipe"

While reading chapter 1, the representation section stood out to me. I thought it was interesting reading about Rene Magritte, The Treachery of Images. If I looked at the painting, I would see a pipe. I would say this is a pipe. I would not think anything about representation or the painting being a representation of a pipe. I like how the artist adds text to the painting saying, “This is not a pipe.” As the text says, it is not a pipe itself; it is a representation of a pipe. It shows the relationship between words and images.
