Los Amantes (en francés: Les Amants) es una pintura surrealista de René Magritte realizada en París, en el año 1928. Es la primera obra de una serie de cuatro variaciones. En ella se puede observar a dos personas besándose apasionadamente con las cabezas envueltas por unas telas blancas que ocultan sus identidades. La pareja que no puede tocarse a través de la tela, hace referencia a los amores imposibles, que han estado juntos y nunca volverán a estarlo. Actualmente se encuentra en el MoMA de Nueva York, en la colección de Richard S. Zeisler.

Meets Breton and joins the Surrealist circle
In Paris he became friends with André Breton and joined his Surrealist circle, where he kept his individuality yet found his recognisable style. He was not afraid to argue with the others: he disliked psychoanalysis, especially in art, regarding his own work as philosophical and poetic rather than psychological.
