Rene Magritte: The Glass Key (1959)
Being a very poor painter, Magritte’s works seldom resembled what he intended them to. This attempt at a glass key ended up looking like a rock in a mountain landscape.
Other mispainted works included his attempt at a self portrait, which looked like a slice of ham with an eyeball; his painting “Heartstrings” which resembled a cloud in a glass; and perhaps his most famous failure, “This is Not a Pipe,” which sadly very clearly showed a pipe.

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
