Paul’s website now has a new feature to discuss the work of his favorite artists.
The first one is Magritte. I won’t quote the whole thing, but here are Paul’s recollections at the bottom:
“I’ve always loved Mr Magritte’s work and have admired him since the 1960s when I first became aware of his work. I love his paintings so much that I once took a trip to Paris to visit Magritte’s art dealer Alexander Iolas and had a very pleasant meal in his apartment above the gallery. We then went downstairs to see the paintings and I was able to select three pictures.
“Robert [Fraser – art dealer and friend] also brought me other interesting Magritte’s pictures over the years and one of them became the inspiration for the original Beatles Apple Records label: the big green apple was inspired by Magritte.
“We were amongst the many people who have been hugely influenced by this great artist’s work.”

Magritte? I never heard of him.
The following people thank Von Bontee for this post:
