Print developed from Rene Magritte’s La durée poignardée (Time Transfixed), 1938 from The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection. The artist challenged himself to juxtapose two imag es in such a way that they would suggest in the viewer’s mind a third un-pictured thing. Magritte understood that viewers would connect the locomotive’s billowing exhaust with the plumes of smoke that travel up chimneys, uncovering the painting’s poetic secret.
