When is a hat not a hat? When it’s not on Magritte’s head, of course!

Look inside Magritte's Marvelous Hat

Without pinching his ears or mussing his hair, the painter Magritte's hat floats overhead and helps him to paint. But can he paint without it?

Not in a surreal world where paint can fly and where a marvelous hat can play hide-and-seek.
