The artist who painted this painting name is Rene Magritte. The surrealism in this painting are axes that are in the form of a tree and getting chopped down. Obviously, there aren’t trees that are axes. But I think the meaning behind it is that axes are made from wood that originated from trees. So, you’re using a tree to kill a tree is the idea I thought of. It’s a very interesting painting to think about because you can create many ideas and interoperate it in different ways.
