Description

When the surrealist painter, Rene Magritte was being interviewed about his early career, he shared a story that became the inspiration for this painting. He took a very short-lived job in a wallpaper factory. The reason being, he said, was �to make Georgette as happy as possible in the calm of a nice steady bourgeois life�. Fortunately, he escaped that mental limitation and went on to become one the 20th century�s most iconic artists. But it made me wonder how many of us sacrifice the risk of following the call of our heart�s desires for comfort and security. Only to reach the end of our lives and perhaps find that we never fully lived.
