The collective invention depicts a fish merged with a woman's legs stranded on the beach. This is mockery of the traditional mermaid. Magritte's painting strips away the beauty and mystery surrounding the mermaid. He removed the beauty by using the opposites. Magritte was a painter of ideas; a painter of visible thoughts, rather than of subjects. He valued neither lyrical nor the abstraction. He described his paintings saying, "My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, 'What does that mean?' It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing, it is unknowable." Magritte was an artist who has always created astonishment, and has remained a major figure of Surrealism.
