René Magritte, Le Seize Septembre, 1956

“I have just painted the moon on a tree in the blue-gray colors of evening. [Poet Louis] Scutenair has come up with a very beautiful title: Le seize septembre. I think it ‘fits,’ so from September 16th on, we’ll call it done.”

— Rene Magritte, Magritte: The True Art of Painting (via Austin Kleon)
