La Durée Poignardée (Time Transfixed) (1939)  

 

In this painting, Magritte depicts a miniature train suspended and coming out of a fireplace. This was one of the rare occasions in which a sudden image, almost a hallucination, appeared to Magritte. Although Magritte’s paintings may seem a little psychedelic, Magritte disliked many artists’ dependency on visions from dreams and delusions. Instead, he preferred complete, thorough, and deliberate paintings.
