This Is Not a Pipe FROM OUR EDITORS
A realistic painting of a pipe is underscored by the sentence, This Is Not a Pipe. French philosopher Michel Foucault's classic essay on the complex relationship between language and image in Renﾽ Magritte's painting has long been standard reading for students trying to understand the postmodern world. The informative introduction to this edition and the black-and-white reproductions of Magritte's work are good accompaniments to Foucault's text.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Foucault's brief but extraordinarily rich essay offers a startling, highly provocative view of a painter whose influence and popularity continue to grow unchecked. This book also throws a new, piquantly dancing light on Foucault himself.
