The Empty Mask (1928) is a
surrealist René Magritte
.
In his essay Words and Images, published in 1929, Magritte observed that each image "suggests that there are others behind it".[citation needed] Viewed through a freestanding frame of irregular shape, these images are a sky, a lead curtain festooned with sleigh bells, a house façade, a sheet of paper cut-outs, a forest and a fire.
The title evokes the fear of the
National Museum of Wales
