Welcome to the
Hall of Poorly-Reproduced Magrittes

Belgian Surrealist René Magritte painted "The Son of Man" in 1964. Little did he know it would be reproduced so poorly in so many places on the web, as seen in the undoctored .jpegs below. Which version is correct? Which version is even close to the original oil painting? Who can tell... What it does demonstrate, however, is the importance of proper color reproduction and attention to digital color space.



So...are you ready to calibrate your monitor?
