yeah and the dumb painting isn't in there --- I spent all last night looking through it. >:(

And that online catalog is only 2010 - we don't know what year that painting was shown, do we?

this reminds me of some flemish renaissance painting but i can't quite remember it, van der weyden or s/thing (prob not him)

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:18 (thirteen years ago) link

OMG! this is totally proof that Botero was an anachronistic painter

sarahel, Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:20 (thirteen years ago) link

oh god, yes there's something of him there yean

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

i guess botero was influenced by the plasticity and fleshy distention of early flemish portraiture?

the thesis would also need to include a discussion of The Cure's Japanese Whispers album cover

Are there any other threads similar to this that try to identify poor resolution art work/posters from the past?

Kind of like a song ID but with a terrible quality graphic?

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 1 March 2019 17:01 (three days ago)

You could maybe try this thread?
Help me identify the cover artwork on this wall I found in a photo of a bedroom on a property website.

I've spent a while trying to google this and Stevie's original q (like, many pages deep in Google image search every time the thread is revived) but no luck, alas

(also lol at jed's image)
