Midnight

When creating the polymorph Midnight Yaacov Agam was inspired by a painting by René Magritte. Yaacov Agam has executed a multi-faceted work in his own unique style where he proposes a reinterpretation of the Belgian surrealist master. This work exudes a feeling of strangeness and elusiveness. This fascinating and mysterious realization also plays on the dichotomy of day and night. Like a double identity, the night embodies the dark and

indecipherable part and the day symbolizes the light and the comprehensible world.

René Magritte declared that "this evocation of night and day seems to me endowed with the power to surprise and enchant us. I call this power: poetry”. Day and night rather than being a simple opposition, could they be two separate but complementary moments that meet and harmonize precisely at Midnight? As with the surrealists, Midnight by Yaacov Agam embodies contradictions and opposition of day and night and their mysteries.
