The artwork, titled “Project of poster ‘The center of textile workers in Belgium,'” was created by the artist Rene Magritte in 1938 in Brussels, Belgium. Categorized under the Surrealism movement, this poster artwork is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, located in Brussels, Belgium.
The artwork prominently features a large central spool of thread, positioned vertically and seemingly defying gravity, as a needle is intertwined with the thread at its peak. To the right, a spindle-like structure stands tall, casting shadows that suggest a surreal play with light and dimension. A vibrant red flag is depicted on the left side, blowing in the wind, possibly symbolizing industrial or worker movements. In the background, geometric shapes indicative of factory buildings are faintly visible, lending a sense of industrial context to the composition. The overall palette is dominated by cool blue tones, which contrast starkly against the warm hues of the flag and wooden structures, encapsulating the essence of Surrealist artistic expressions.
