    Ce isn't acceptable because it's unclear what it's referring to; ceci clearly is referring to the article itself. With context and informally ce would be fine.

                Why Foucault reference?
                Shouldn't it be Magritte?

                    Yeah, Felch own-goaled himself.

                    And to be the wiseguy around here, Magritte based himself on a quote by Van Bruaene: "Ceci n'est pas de l'art", written down on a sign he hanged up on the front door of his Brussels gallery (the 'cabinet Maldoror').

                    Art snobs criticised his exposition of the then unknown painter Constant Permeke, dismissing it as childish pencil drawings. Van Bruaene also ran a bar in Brussels Magritte used to frequent. A while later Magritte used the reference in one of his own works, more precisely the one Fve Crathva posted in this topic

                    Picture of van Bruaene, the man sitting on the chair in the middle, also featuring the wife of Magritte btw. Bar is called 'Goudblommeke in papier', if you're ever in Brussels you should definately go and have a drink there

                      I know what you mean. it is how I feel when I hear people from New Zealand, England, Canada, Reading, USA, India, England, South Africa and anywhere else speaking English.
