Focus on Time Transfixed and explain the The artist's perspective.
The title of the painting translates to English literally as Ongoing Time Stabbed by a Dagger, and Magritte was reportedly unhappy with the generally accepted translation of Time Transfixed. Magritte hoped that James would hang the painting at the base of his staircase so that the train would "stab" guests on their way up to the ballroom. James instead chose to hang the painting above his own fireplace.Magritte described his motivation for this painting:"I decided to paint the image of a locomotive... In order for its mystery to be evoked, another immediately familiar image without mystery—the image of a dining room fireplace—was joined."
