Thank you Magritte

So, today I came across this



It's a famous painting by Magritte and I know I've probably always had it in the back of my mind but I didn't realize it. For my logo/brandmark, I'd like to appropriate parts of the image to create my rock with mountains. In the end it might be just the rock, but I am in no way neglecting the fact that it was originally Magritte's piece. I'm hoping that people who are familiar with the painting will recognize the connection, find it interesting in this context and be drawn in. I however will be making it into a logo, so the imagery and association with content will be completely different from the original context. Thoughts on this?
