Oil on canvas, 73 x 116 cm
This work was finished in 1935 and exhibited in July 1935. Magritte describes this work: Collective Invention is the answer to the problem of the sea. On the beach I laid a siren, the top part of whose body is that of a fish, while the bottom part consists of the belly and legs of a woman.
