René Magritte La page blanche (The White Page); Placing a yellow circle strategically in the upper center of the composition, Magritte toys with the viewer's imagination. The yellow circle floats in the night sky yet appears in front of a tree branch, suggesting that it is in fact a plump fruit rather than a full moon. Magritte creates a figure with dual identities; depending on the viewer's perception, the yellow circle serves different functions. Magritte beautifully balances this layered composition, placing the sprawling city at the bottom of the composition and the tree branch at the top. The work relays a sense of quiet calm, as though the viewer can almost hear the crickets chirping in the dead of night.

Created after the 1967 original oil on canvas La page blanche (The White Page) by René Magritte (1898-1967), this color lithograph is was published and printed by Philippe Moreno, Paris in 2003.
