Instant fan here, as someone who uses Magritte's pipe on my Twitter profile, slightly adjusted for the pandemic era. I literally stuffed his virtual pipe with a virtual representation of a "virus."
Am I really here? Do I exist or am I a figment of (someones) imagination? Is the sky really blue? What is art? An empty white room in the Tait gallery, a large yellow (peril) box on the river, Duchamp's man's urinal... all portrayed as "art". Warhol's Campbell soup tin, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon lp cover, a Pinifarina designed 1950s Ferrari... all considered to be works of art. Yet nothing like a great painting from say, Leonardo or Caravaggio or even van Gogh, whose paintings are of recognisable subject matter. Form, colour, construction, medium, space and time all are elements in man's creative expression. We call it ART. But is it? Or do we just imagine it is. A very thought provoking review.
This was excellently put together, thank you my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. I like that art makes us think.
