At the risk of deviation, a related work but of debatable genius was on
show at a recent UK exhibition of Yoko Ono's art. She offered a long shelf
with 50 or so identical clear-glass bottles each filled with water and each
labeled with the name of a celebrity. I enjoyed Magritte's explanation
(thanks for the rare link, Jim) but failed to follow Yoko's during her
TV interview.

PS: Can anyone confirm my feeling that Charlie Chaplin used a simple
walking stick as his tramp's prop, rather than an umbrella which tends
to have bourgeois associations?
