Watson (after Magritte)

Pairing:
The Son of Man by René Magritte
Image of Watson from the IBM Watson Project


Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 18" x 14"


Artist's Insights:
Q. The Watson image fits so well, it looks as if it is part of the Magritte original painting.

A. I'm afraid not. For those who are not aware, Watson is a computer system developed by IBM to answer questions on the quiz show Jeopardy. It was named after the company's founder, Thomas Watson. Today it serves other purposes at IBM. Viewers will note that I replaced Magritte's green apple with the Watson avatar.

Print options available.
