Leonardo Learning: This is not a pipe

It is most important for everyone here to know the Magritte painting called "this is not a pipe" the reason is that it is a very profound zen koan...The point of the painting of the pipe is that it isnt a pipe at all but a "painting of a pipe" this is very, very profound for you to "get" or "grok" as an artist. I am not posting the painting here as you should google it...Zen Koans require effort--dont be lazy. 


 The map is not the territory---never forget this fact.
