When the Hour Strikes
(Quand l'heure sonnera) 1964-65
When Magritte was a child one of his most vivid memories was when a manned hot air ballon landed on his house. He used this balloon image in one of his first paintings in the new style in 1925, The Blue Cinema. Since his idol De Chirico also use the hot air ballon image it's hard to tell whether Magritte took the image from De Chirico or his childhood. The Venus de Milo statue image (The Copper Handcuffs- 1931), is in almost the exact the same pose as Magritte's The Beauty of Night (la Belle de Nuit) 1932.
