The artwork titled “Project of poster ‘The center of textile workers in Belgium'” was created by Rene Magritte in 1938 in Brussels, Belgium. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified under the genre of a poster. This work is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.
The artwork exhibits a surreal composition, featuring a large spool of thread suspended vertically against a clear blue sky. The spool is adorned with a thread that seems to form a delicate loop above it. On the left side, a red flag prominently stands, its vibrant hue contrasting against the blue background and signifying labor or collectivism. In the background, there are geometric forms representing a factory, indicated by the stylized depiction of smokestacks and stairs. To the right, a golden architectural element, standing tall, adds a touch of elegance and structure to the composition. The scene is rendered with an exquisite precision typical of Magritte’s style, merging realistic elements with enigmatic and dreamlike qualities, creating a thought-provoking visual narrative.
