C'est le Buddy du 16 février. C'est un Magritte!
I think the french line under the drawing might be wrong - is it "un Buddy" or "une Buddy"? Well, doesn't really matter, as long as you understand today's Buddy was based on this famous french painting:
It's a pipe. Or, it's not a pipe - it's a painting of a pipe. Or not even that, now - it's a digital image composed of pixels, being shown on a screen, of a painting of a pipe.
What this all means is Magritte was a clever dick. I'm not too knowledgeable about art (meaning paintings and shit), but I think Magritte's pieces are pretty interesting and fun.
I remember back in school a friend of mine wa leafing through a history book and got to a page with a few Salvador Dalí paintings represented, and he said something about them being crappy. I took umbrage to that, because, as incomprehensible as the paintings were to us, I could tell Dalí worked hard on putting his ideas on the page, and that they were unique and personal visions.
I contrasted him with stuff like Picasso and Mondrian, who I saw as actual hacks. But it just goes to show, we gotta be careful when we disrespect someone's work, because some people might be lumping it together with art that you see as important and meaningful.
