<p>Crying Girl, Lichtenstein.</p>

<p>I have this one framed and up in my living room Almon. Did you know that there is an original on public display at the Creative Artist Agency in Beverly Hills ? Also a public mural at Broadway/42nd Steet subway station (Times Square). My favs of his are the ones with benday dots.</p>
 
WINEX - it's this one, "Whaam!":

<p>There is NO room where dogs playing poker is appropriate.</p>

<p>I always liked that actual cartoon artists that Lichtenstein was--imitating? making fun of? stealing from? better than L.</p>
 
<p>Cats are always appropriate, and they will be glad to tell you so...</p>

<p>Ohmigod, that is even worse. If cats ever played a game, it wouldn't be poker. None of them could bear to lose. Let me say, that not only is there not a room where that picture would be appropriate, there is not a universe where it would be appropriate.</p>

<p>or, to quote the 60 minutes fellow. Not on planet earth.</p>
 
<p><strong>Okay Liz, tell us how you <em>really</em> feel.</strong></p>

I will give anyone a for who can name the owner of the painting just above this. I will give a hint... think housing, and it ain't Bren.





BTW, the art world died when JMB died, and SOHO has never been the same. Even <a href="http://www.tonyshafrazigallery.com/">Shafrazi</a> moved out. And, I will give to anyone who knows what famous painting Shafrazi is known for.
 
<p>Awwwwwww. I have a theory that kitties are becoming/evolving to be so cute, that they are irresistable to humans. Sort of a fuzzy parasite.</p>

<p>Followed by ick.</p>

<p>Looks like Picasso lite.</p>

<p>Guy really studied/imitated Guernica. And Kandinski. Doesn't like women I guess. </p>

<p>Or, they don't like him.</p>

<p>I don't mind artists doing a riff on someone else's work, they do that all the time. But when it's imitation without creativity, it's just boring.</p>

<p>Frankly, if I'm going to study the faces of corruption and evil, I'd rather contemplate Hieronymos Bosch. Which reminds me, they were showing Paulson's skull-face, at the pres's speach, and it really reminded by of something out of Bosch, or Goya.</p>

<p>He must have done many awful things, in order to end up looking like that.</p>
 
<p>graphrix, how could I forget to list JMB!!! </p>

<p>how about this? nyc loft + iconic graffiti artists = real estate find of the year! </p>

<p>this would probably be an eyesore to most, but there's some real history here!
