THIS IS NOT A FAN

Allow me, as I introduce a beautiful creation by LA MORENITA, to reference a famous painting by René Magritte from 1929 that has become an icon of pop culture: “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (“This is not a pipe”).

The artwork clearly depicted a pipe, yet the caption underneath stated exactly the opposite — that it wasn’t one. The painter, when asked to resolve the paradox, may have made it even more puzzling with a concept that was both accurate and surreal:
“Who would dare claim that the representation of a pipe is a pipe? Who could smoke the pipe in my painting? No one. Therefore, it is not a pipe.”

Magritte’s reasoning was airtight. And it’s the same reasoning I used to decipher what, to me, is a work of art — not a fan.

In this case, the process was reversed. I saw the beautiful necklace and was corrected: No, it’s a fan.

To me, though, it’s a piece of art. But how can I prove otherwise?

Whatever its function may be, the idea is to enjoy your fan-necklace as you stroll through the charming narrow streets of Palma’s historic city — or anywhere else. And when the heat hits, you can elegantly wave your necklace and cool off a little.

So chic…
