"(The tachistes) paint white on white, & they believe that this is an achievement," said René Magritte to Harry Torczyner. "I don't like that." Torczyner responded by challenging Magritte to paint "a white rose, in a white room with a window looking on to a landscape covered with snow." Magritte painted a rose in revolutionary red. "When there is a rose, & one is sensitive to it, one makes it as big as I did so that the rose appears to fill the room." He called the painting "The Tomb of the Wrestlers." A comment by Jean-Paul Sartre on another painter's work sets the scene for the poems here. "Ses titres ne désignent pas l’objet : ils l’accompagnent." "His titles do not indicate the object: they accompany it."
