Tcritic - The daily design and fashion T-Shirt blog: This is not a t-shirt Pipe - from The Girl and Rhino

    I think it would be translated: This is not a pipe t-shirt rather than this is not a t-shirt pipe.

    good point, I changed the title. I actually used google to translate it exactly, I guess it came out wrong. I used to speak a bit of French but don't have it any more :-)

    I'm with you. I love the Girl and Rhino's t-shirts. I have a couple of the Oakland ones.

    Now, I don't claim to be an expert on art - far from it - but does that first Magritte t-shirt actually *work*? I thought the point of the original painting, The Treachery of Images, was that it wasn't a pipe but a picture of a pipe, and that the picture is not the object. Putting the phrase on a t-shirt, which actually IS a t-shirt of a pipe, seems to miss the point slightly.

    I do like, and own, the Mario one though.

    Tom, that's exactly right! The tee is supposed to be ironic, not literal... at TG&R we like irony. :o)
