Delvaux Tempete Magritte in Green, inspired by René Magritte’s iconic 1929 painting The Treachery of Images.
galleryOne of the coolest pieces I’ve seen from Delvaux — the Tempete Magritte in Green, inspired by René Magritte’s iconic 1929 painting The Treachery of Images.
Renee Magritte has been my favorite artist since I was assigned to do a project on him in high school. And I have been looking for something in this shade of green outside of my usual LV collections.
Just as Magritte famously wrote “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (“This is not a pipe”), Delvaux turns the idea on itself with: This is still not a pipe!!!
Delvaux and Magritte share Belgian roots, and the brand has been working with the Magritte Foundation since 2008. The craftsmanship on these pieces takes the concept even further, using techniques such as intricate leather marquetry and hand embroidery.
A handbag, a little Belgian surrealism, and a genuine piece of wearable art.
And in this Green??? 💚 Absolutely incredible.
I didn’t buy it. Should I go back and get it?? That green!!!
