The Treachery of Images (French: La Trahison des images) is a 1929 painting by surrealist painter René Magritte. It is also known as This Is Not a Pipe[2] and The Wind and the Song.[3] Magritte painted it when he was 30 years old. It is on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[1]
The painting shows an image of a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe', French for 'This is not a pipe'.
The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture 'This is a pipe', I'd have been lying!
The theme of pipes with the text 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' is extended in Les Mots et Les Images,[5]La Clé des Songes,[6]Ceci n'est pas une pipe (L'air et la chanson),[7]The Tune and Also the Words,[8]Ceci n’est pas une pomme,[9] and Les Deux Mystères.[10]
The painting is sometimes given as an example of meta message conveyed by paralanguage,[11] like Alfred Korzybski's 'The word is not the thing' and 'The map is not the territory', as well as Denis Diderot's This is not a story. One interpretation is that the pipe in the painting is not a pipe, but rather a drawing of a pipe.
On December 15, 1929, Paul Éluard and André Breton published an essay about poetry in La Révolution surréaliste (The Surrealist Revolution) as a reaction to the publication by poet Paul Valéry 'Notes sur la poésie' in Les Nouvelles littéraires of September 28, 1929. When Valéry wrote 'Poetry is a survival', Breton and Éluard made fun of it and wrote 'Poetry is a pipe', as a reference to Magritte's painting.[12]
In the same edition of La Révolution surréaliste, Magritte published 'Les mots et les images' (his founding text which illustrated where words play with images), his answer to the survey on love, and Je ne vois pas la [femme] cachée dans la forêt, a painting tableau surrounded by photos of sixteen surrealists with their eyes closed, including Magritte himself.
In popular culture[edit]
The painting is featured on a T-shirt and discussed in John Green's 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars and its subsequent 2014 film adaptation.
In 2020, South Korean boyband Tomorrow X Together released a concept photo teaser for their EP The Dream Chapter: Eternity, featuring a shabby plush toy with the caption: 'Ceci n'est pas un nounours' (French for 'This is not a teddy bear'), evidently in the fashion of The Treachery of Images.[13]
The video game Terraria has an item that is a homage to the painting, called 'The Duplicity of Reflections'. The in-game painting has a golf club replacing the pipe.
The video game Minecraft has a reference to the painting in an April Fools' version update, in an easter-egg dimension where there is a sign that reads 'This is not a sign.'
The video game Neverball reads 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' in the intro text of Hard Level 24.
The 2020 video game The Signifier shows a reproduction of the painting in the protagonist's lab.
The programming language R has a package that develops a pipe operator; the package is named 'magrittr' and quotes 'Ceci n'est pas un pipe'.[14]
The episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Season 12 Episode 5, named 'The Spy Who Loved Murdoch', begins with a slain French diplomat. In his hand is a pipe held like a gun rather than in the manner for smoking. A French intelligence agent removes the pipe from his hand and shows it to Murdoch. She then says 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe', removes the mouthpiece, and reveals it is a single shot pistol disguised as a pipe.[15]
The Tiny Desk (Home) Concert by PUP had a sign that read, 'CECI N'EST PAS UNE TINY DESK'. This is reference to them playing at home instead of the normal NPR studios due to the pandemic.[16]
