i am going to go the getty and demand they tell me the answer to this btw

do it. for all of us.

yah ur on the same page as i am joe def, i feel we are close

this is not the right board to ask about this.

try here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/

colors feel slightly more pastichey than period but the scale is the other way around...

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?

plz plz show us a picture of this wrapping paper.

Steve Shasta you may be our savior!

worst revive ever. I was actually hopeful for a moment

;_;

Help us, Plaxi-Wan Conaxi, you're our only hope

lol

actually kind of amazing thread revive but i am still annoyed that i/we haven't gotten this yet

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

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

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

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

thesis topic4u: Botero's Influence on Contemporary Emo Photography

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

:-)

mad <3 for both of u

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

i discuss it thus: DIE MOTHAFUCKA DIE MOTHAFUCKA DIE

chill ass juggalo bro

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

botero is p terrible

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

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

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

like

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

is this by Guntur Fruhtrunk?

http://images.artnet.com/WebServices/picture.aspx?date=20081113&catalog=149564&gallery=110657&lot=01502&filetype=2

best guess yet imo!

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.

miami basel says there was *a* fruhtrunk in the catalogue...

(crosses fingers) please please

but hes not in the online catalogue which could be why that didnt work

lol i thought of him when i was thinking of paintings to do Avant Hard (itt the pornification of western culture i think) with

artnet sez three different galleries represent him - someone send some e-mails!!

if we do get this i think that stevie owes us all an apology.

hey plax i'm almost convinced this was on an irish textbook cover in the pre-junior cert era. either that or someone i know owns a print

lol that would be really fucking weird

until someone consults a fruhtrunk catalog, there is keyword: miami basel 2010 on flickr...

Stevie probably removed his bookmark from this thread weeks ago, he's moved on now ;_;

No no i am Reading v v eagerly!

ugh the more i think about it the more i realise this fruhtrunk theory might be clutching at straws, like i was hoping it might be late fruhtrunk that ive never seen and maybe he decided to stretch his legs but the overall design of the painting is definitely off, It feels more like somebody borrowing p heavily from fruhtrunks vocab....

I bet that guy Just made it in Photoshop and inserted it into the photo

judging by the basel flickr sets there was a lot of really terrible hello kitty art this year

(lol as opposed to the good kind)

WE STILL DON'T FUCKING KNOW
