Summary
In In-ho's room (S01E02) there are three visible prints of "Empire of Light" by René Magritte. One is on the cover of a book, alongside books on Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and two on Picasso.
Modern art, especially surrealism, is a huge influence on the visual storytelling in the show, and further, the associated philosophies of the artists and works play a significant role in the story. It is interesting to me that In-ho is, in fiction, invested in these same works that inspired the creation of the world around him. It would make sense if he bought these books as a response to the trauma of surviving his game, as a way to make sense of the absurd. Picasso: The Blue and Rose Periods is from 2019, four years after his game. Then there's his books on Lacan, Camus, and Nietzsche.
This is an exploration of that concept, of In-ho fixating on modern art, particularly surrealism, to make sense of his reality. The first part is based in NYC, when the Front Man is tasked to smooth things over with the Panther mask VIP in person. The second part follows Gi-hun's life after winning his game, as In-ho observes him. In the third, they clash.
