La race blanche by René Magritte, 1937. Oil on canvas.
“Magritte deconstructs the female form, depicting an eye, an ear, a mouth, and a nose precariously balanced upon one another but lacking the coherency to form an identifiable face. Though the legs and arms appear relatively proportionate, the large, round belly and perfectly circular breasts contribute to the disproportional nature of this figure. According to Whitfield, this “last and most imposing work in the Race blanche series was executed in the spirit of a Picasso bather.” Though Magritte neither confirmed or denied this resemblance, he found the comparison to be a “very lucid reaction” (Whitfield, no. 78).”

En el Congreso de EE.UU. se debate una ley que da poder a EE.UU. para censurar Internet a nivel mundial, creando una lista negra con Youtube, WikiLeaks e incluso a Avaaz. Pero si apoyamos a miembros clave del Congreso de EE.UU, podremos derrotar esta censura global en Internet. ¡Firma la petición!
