I don't know if I've had too much eggnog but it kinda looks like the wrapping paper that I'm using right now. What if it was found-art of Target Wrapping Paper that someone framed?

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?

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:25 (thirteen years ago) link

thesis topic4u: Botero's Influence on Contemporary Emo Photography

sarahel, Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:25 (thirteen years ago) link

fat goths' influence on coronary heart disease and shitty music taste

Magic Our Maurice! (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:27 (thirteen years ago) link

:-)

mad <3 for both of u

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:28 (thirteen years ago) link

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

sarahel, Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:29 (thirteen years ago) link

i discuss it thus: DIE MOTHAFUCKA DIE MOTHAFUCKA DIE

Magic Our Maurice! (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 January 2011 00:30 (thirteen years ago) link

chill ass juggalo bro

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 11:25 (thirteen years ago) link

botero is still painting guys, he had some shitty show abt quantanamo bay a few years ago. botero is p terrible

plax (ico), Saturday, 22 January 2011 11:35 (thirteen years ago) link

botero is p terrible

― plax (ico), Saturday, 22 January 2011 11:35 (14 minutes ago)

agreed

if he was still alive today, he would have a tumblr with very respectable reblog stats and that would be more apt to his level

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 11:51 (thirteen years ago) link

uh no he would have a deviantart page ur refs r all wrong

plax (ico), Saturday, 22 January 2011 12:09 (thirteen years ago) link

feel he would have migrated by now, with some consternation from the deviantart crowd that he must be whoring for a tumblr-to-book deal

sort of irrelevant since he never lived to see any of those sites

srsly tho when i first saw this shit i thought it was just an 'internet thing' and not the work of a much valourized irl artist

flopson fauxhawk (nakhchivan), Saturday, 22 January 2011 12:17 (thirteen years ago) link

its bad in a way its hard to get worked up abt tho

plax (ico), Saturday, 22 January 2011 12:21 (thirteen years ago) link

best guess yet imo!

opeth winfrey (donna rouge), Monday, 24 January 2011 23:54 (thirteen years ago) link

at the very least fruhtrunk was who i think i meant when i said id seen these before. this is making a lot of the same problems for itself even if the resolutions are a little clearer.

plax (ico), Monday, 24 January 2011 23:55 (thirteen years ago) link

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?

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)

Thanks APS.
