“SHEHERAZADE” IS ONE OF MANY PAINTINGS THAT RENE MAGRITTE MADE ON THE THEME OF THE TITULAR STORYTELLER FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS, WHOSE ROLE WAS TO DELIVER SUCH WELL-KNOWN TALES AS ALADDIN AND ALI BABA. RENÉ MAGRITTE’S SHÉHÉRAZADE IS SYMBOLIC OF OPULENCE, EXOTICISM AND EVEN EROTICISM. THE FACE THAT APPEARS BEFORE US IS FEMININE AND SENSUAL, MAKING IT APPEAR AS IF WE ARE STARING AT A VEILED WOMAN FROM A MYTHICAL HAREM. MAGRITTE FOCUSES OUR ATTENTION ON HER EYES AND HER DELICATE RED LIPS, THE LOCATION OF ALL HER POWER. WITH HER FEATURES SUSPENDED IN A DELICATE ARABESQUE OF PEARLS, THIS COMPELLING FIGURE BECOMES A VISUAL REMINDER OF THE VEILS DRAPED OVER THE TRUTH OF THINGS. TO KNOW WHAT IS REAL, WE MUST LOOK BEYOND EXTERNAL CLUTTER.
