In this new children's book from The Museum of Modern Art, a man named René floats through the world of his dreams and imagination, fulfilling his desire to become a painter- of apples and hats, apple hats, apple-these and apple-thats. In his paintings, leaves are lips, baguettes are noses, the right side is never up, and the upside is never down. Inspired by the artwork of René Magritte, one of the world's most beloved artists, Magritte's Apple will inspire readers of all ages to look closely at the world around them.
