Actually I have to admit these aren't really genuine Ray Bans but rather some Ray Ban style sunglasses I bought quite cheap some years ago. But then Rene Magritte didn't paint pipes so they can be "real" Ray Bans if I say they are. This is art and all things are possible in art, the Sun might even come out. :) This painting is 5ins x 7ins and painted oil on board (Masonite). The glasses are a little bit larger than life in the painting, which makes the sunglasses look a bit like they belong to a god or godess. Of course this doesn't come over in the photographs because unlike original paintings, photographs have no scale, so tend to work differently than paintings.
