"Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary"
“Young girl eating a bird” (1927)
oil on canvas by Rene Magritte’s shows a young girl devouring a bird. This
painting I encountered caught my eye because of the action that is being
conveyed. The young girl in this painting is eating up a bird which seemed very
strange and kept me skeptical. The way Magritte painted the young girl eating a
bird depicts a form of fantasy because humans are not really seen eating birds.
This can relate to reality and might symbolize the way people can be cruel
towards others. The world we live in has good and bad with many different
intentions. In this case Magritte is possibly representing the young girl’s
action as cruelty. Fantasy is shown by the way the girl is eating up the bird careless
with her hands covered in blood.
