THIS IS NOT A FAN

Allow me to refer to a beautiful creation of LA MORENITA by quoting a very famous painting by René Magritte from 1929, which has become an icon of pop culture: ‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe’ (This is not a pipe).

This work of art was to all intents and purposes a pipe, but the caption underneath said exactly the opposite, i.e. that it was not.
The painter called upon to solve the dilemma perhaps complicated it with a concept that was both fair and surreal: ‘Who would dare to claim that the image of a pipe is a pipe? Who could smoke the pipe in my painting? No one. Therefore, it is not a pipe’. Indeed, Magritte’s reasoning was flawless, and it is the same one I used to decipher what for me is an art object and not a fan.
This time the process was reversed, I saw the beautiful necklace and was corrected: no, it is a fan.
For me instead, it is a work of art, but how can I prove otherwise?
Whatever its function, the idea is that you enjoy your fan necklace while strolling through the beautiful narrow streets of the historic city of Palma or anywhere else and when it’s hot you can always flutter the necklace and cool off. How chic…
