This is Not a Pipe Foucault Michel
What does it mean to write "This is not a pipe" across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. Rene Magritte's famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault.
By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction.
