This Is Not a Pipe

This Is Not a Pipe by Michel Foucault

What does it mean to write This is not a pipe across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? Ren Magritte's famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. 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.
