Magritte spent a large part of his life working in advertising, both to help sustain himself during lean times, and out of an interest in publicity. In this poster for a film festival in Brussels, he exercises his recognizable surrealist style and uses the forehead of a woman as a movie screen. He re-used the same image in 1949 for the second of these film festivals. This is the scarce smaller format.
