Treachery of Hate - Moniker for sale £40 , by bleet on Sept 17, 2013 20:40:50 GMT 1, "The Treachery of Hate" shows a rainbow with the words "Ceci est juste un arc en ciel" ("This is just a rainbow") inscribed underneath. Inspired by Rene Magritte's "The Treachery of Images." Magritte's classic piece shows a pipe with the words "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("This is not a pipe"). While at first it seems a contradiction, it is true: the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe. Today, however, it is not the image that deceives us, but hate, bigotry, and sterotypes. Hate has taken a beautiful image, that of a rainbow, and placed a stigma on it. Hate has not only stigmatized the image of the rainbow itself, but also what the rainbow has come to represent for many. This is just a rainbow. This is just love. This is just equality. Hate has betrayed them all.
