I do not apologize for the joke in the title.
In fact, I am proud of it.

I don't mind if it actually makes me think. I'd like it to be aesthetically interesting anyways.
I do mind if a cheap trick (like "this isn't a pipe, it's just a picture of a pipe") gets touted as a thought-provoking masterpiece. Because then if I say I don't like it, I get accused of not wanting to think.
You can lead a horse to water..
The "cheap trick" is the whole point. You probably really won't like Magrittes buddy, Duchamp and his Fountain https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)
"The impact of Duchamp's Fountain changed the way people view art due to his focus upon "cerebral art" contrary to merely "retinal art", as this was a means to engage prospective audiences in a thought-provoking way as opposed to satisfying the aesthetic status quo "turning from classicism to modernity"."
Fountain is in the realm of trolling art museums, and I appreciate that. I also appreciate the dadaist sentiment of rejecting art snobbery.
I'm not a huge fan of the "everything is art" mindset, but I don't mind it on its own. The part that's bothering me, which you're highlighting, is the Emperor's New Clothes treatment some of these pieces, like The Treachery of Images, get. The art sages say it's a thought provoking masterpiece. I say it's simple, and I get called a simpleton.
I'm not saying you have to agree with my opinion. Just let me have it in peace. Don't let dadaism turn back into snobbery.
