VotD: Surrealism and René Magritte

As I’m sure some of you have figured out already, thanks to Google’s lovely theme, today is Magritte’s birthday. (Google combined “Golconde” and “The Son of Man” to create their splash, not a clip from the “It’s Raining Men” music video as previously purported.) Video of the Day doesn’t always have to be funny–or attempting to be funny, as just demonstrated–and because Magritte is one of my all-time favorite artists, he gets a little spotlight here at GotGame, as well. A portion of his oeuvre is displayed below (with music by Nina Simone). Or, you can just check out this amazing parody on his “Ceci n’est pas une pipe,” (”This is not a pipe”), gamer-style.
