Le miroir universel originated from Magritte’s La magie noire (1934) series, becoming a painting that portrayed the naked form of his wife Georgette Berger leaning against a rock as she metamorphoses from the waist upwards into the cerulean blue sky. Magritte’s vision of Georgette as a modern Venus of the night sky brings together the intimate and the infinite, achieving the impossible expression of a dream turned into a thought.
