Oona Curley - Magritte

Follow the link and you'll find Magritte's famous bowler hat man painting. This image is composed of many smaller, simpler shapes - the man's body can be seen as a cylinder, or even a rectangle, the head as a sphere/circle, the apple as a sphere, and the bowler hat as a hemisphere or rounded cylinder. It is interesting how even these simple shapes can resemble each other - the bowler hat could be seen as a cylinder with a rounded top or a very squarish hemisphere.
