Subtle historical connections between Magritte and Einstein

Fleck replies: Alexandre Losev’s intriguing suggestion of a René Magritte–Albert Einstein connection through the French philosopher Henri Bergson and his idea “personally experienced time (la durée)” would, if confirmed, locate “Einsteinian subtleties in Magritte’s Time Transfixed” more firmly within contextual, historical evidence, thereby elevating subtle connections I point out beyond level mere coincidence. A thorough search for possible links between Magritte Einstein—such as may be recorded multivolume Meets Magritte, referenced by Losev; Écrits complets (1979), edited André Blavier French; Catalogue Raisonné (1992–2012)—certainly seems warranted.The influence modern physics on other surrealists, most notably Salvador Dalí, is well documented. Both artists scientists observe interpret world around us; we should not at all surprised to find commonalities their creations. Section:ChooseTop page <<© 2022 American Institute Physics.
