Ceci n’est pas un paysage. Those aren’t René Magritte’s words, but for the sake of this exhibition, let’s imagine they are. The Belgian Surrealist—perhaps best known for a painting of a pipe that was captioned “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (This is not a pipe)—challenged perceptions of reality. While his images often included everyday objects, nature was central. In “The Phantom Landscape,” Luxembourg + Co celebrates Magritte’s singular approach to the genre. Pictures nested in pictures; bodies blending into terrain; skies reimagined as alternate spaces—the show reveals how Magritte redefined the way nature appears in art. —Jeanne Malle
