In this work, which Magritte created in 1964, the face of a man is hidden behind a green apple, which means the painter's lack of attention and the importance of the identity and fame of the person depicted in the painting.

René Magritte has always challenged people's beliefs, sense of curiosity and predetermined assumptions in his works. He tries to show the audience how naively and confidently he talks about facts that are beyond his knowledge.

Magritte himself said about this work:

Everything we see hides something else. We always want to see what is hidden with what we see but this is not possible. Humans hide their secrets very well.
