The Lovers (Magritte)

The Lovers (French: Les Amants (French pronunciation: [lez‿amɑ̃])) is a surrealist painting by René Magritte, made in Paris in 1928. It's the first in a series of four variations, and in the painting two people can be seen kissing passionately with their faces covered in a white cloth hiding their identities. The barrier of fabric transforms an act of passion, such as a kiss, into an act of frustration, representing the lovers which cannot be together. Currently, it is located in the MoMA of New York City, as a part of Richard S. Zeisler's collection.
