This study is related to the treatment of the fine arts, particularly through the method of painting
appreciation by adolescents. In this process, the researcher realized that it is significant for the therapist to
select the appropriate choice of paintings for the effective treatment of the problems of those who are
treated. The heart of the study confirms whether there is the possibility of insight by adolescents when
they appreciate the paintings of Rene Magritte, a famous surrealism painter, whose works are regarded as
an important model of self-healing through the activity of the fine arts. To achieve this purpose, first of all,
the researcher studied on the eighty three articles which deal with the analysis of the works of Rene
Magritte and chose his four paintings which implies the factor of ‘insight,’ a way of treatment in the fine
arts. Second, after selecting experimental groups of 183 high schoolers and 119 college students, the
researcher asked them if they can appreciate something from the four paintings of Rene Magritte with the
following of a survey on the evaluation of their appreciation. Then the researcher analyzed the results of
the survey. According to the analysis of the survey result, although there were more or less different
response to the four paintings, everyone felt ‘insight’ from the four paintings, and in particular, there was
no age gap in response to the four paintings, which means not only the high school students but also the
college students were able to appreciate the factor of insight. However, as some of the interesting points, it
is discovered that the female students of both high school and college feel much more insight than the
male students do, and for the college students, the students of the human and social sciences feel more
insight than those of the natural science and technology do. Therefore, the researcher argues that the
appreciation of the paintings of Rene Magritte for the case of adolescents provides an opportunity of insight
and this way of treatment can be an important method in assisting and supporting the process of the
treatment in the fine arts.
