Crying Girl, Lichtenstein.

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.
 
WINEX - it's this one, "Whaam!":

There is NO room where dogs playing poker is appropriate.

I always liked that actual cartoon artists that Lichtenstein was--imitating? making fun of? stealing from? better than L.
 
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.

or, to quote the 60 minutes fellow. Not on planet earth.
 
Boom for real... Jean Michel Basquiat.

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 Shafrazi moved out. And, I will give to anyone who knows what famous painting Shafrazi is known for.
 
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.

Followed by ick.

Looks like Picasso lite.

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

Or, they don't like him.

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.

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.

He must have done many awful things, in order to end up looking like that.
