was in publication number 12 Surrealist Revolution the year of 1929 which included the theoretical treatise "The words and images " whose author was nothing more and nothing less than René Magritte.
In this treatise, Magritte intends to break up from a surreal philosophical grounds the relationship formed between the words and the image of the same, ie, the name given to objects, and by gaining a new sense or separation between word and image (and object name) can be concluded that abstraction that supports the word loses its meaning when one questions the very nature of their meaning and physical form that resides in the object or its representation, which is described.
The word is found at some point instead of the object and the object or its representation in place of the word without the background is a relationship or obvious meaning between these two, so that the word is just ambiguous construction that precisely the object. Likewise, any object ignores any word that means. Name and object, word and image, is inherently void, just as they are related by definition.
Now, let it be Magritte himself who invites us to question and take us on a journey without return to reason and to the very heart of surrealism with the contents of his treatise, which 18 sentences presented below:
• No object is so attached to his name so as not to find one that suits you best.
• Objects that can dispense with their name.
• Sometimes, a word only serves to designate itself.
• An object comes into contact with their representation, an object comes into contact with your name. Sometimes an object and its name is found.
• Sometimes the name of an object appears in place of its representation.
• In reality, a word can take the place of an object.
• In a phrase, an image can replace a word.
• An object suggests that there are others behind him.
• It appears that there is little relationship between the object and that that represents.
• The words for different objects do not say anything about what distinguishes them.
• In a table, words have the same force that shapes.
• Pictures and words are perceived differently in a box.
• Any form can replace the representation of an object.
• An object never produces the same effect as your name or representation.
• The visible contours of objects, in reality, they played as if they were a mosaic.
• The meaning of the figures are not identifiable as important as that of the well defined.
• A table, the names denote things sometimes accurate, and images, vague things.
• Sometimes the opposite happens.
