Nighthawks parodies

Enjoy. First one here.

Mona Lisa parodies

A quick "Mona Lisa" search on Google will show numerous Gioconda's parodies.

I did chose this one because I believe that the sister is tired and bored of not producing anything.

I believe she will portray Leonardo, da Vinci not di Caprio, but I have not idea if it will be in a thankful or in a revengeful way.

What do you think?

Edward Hopper - "Nighthawks" Parody

One of the most famous of Edward Hopper's work "Nighthawks" has many parodies. I liked this one by Clayton Talbot and I think it emphasizes the idea that each one is concerned with their own problems in the company of others.

Las Meninas parody

I believe most people know Velázquez most famous painting "Las Meninas". Click here to enjoy the original. I came across with this two photoshops interventions and felt like sharing with you. The left is the one I like the most because it created a new meaning in the whole environment just with the insinuation of the "Happy Birthday" ribon at the top. For those who hate photoshoping their masterpiece I would like to remember that many artists have done works inspired in "Las Meninas" including Picasso who did forty versions. Of course it's a total different thing but let's have a little sense of humor and think that it's a great way to make people get in touch with art.

On Beauty by Zadie Smith - Rembrandt

" 'Well', he said loudly, hoping to finish it off with a daunting display of academic pyrotechnics, 'what I meant was that Rembrandt is part of the seventeenth century European movement to... well, let's shorthand it - essentially invent the idea of the human.' Howard heard himself saying, all of it paraphrased from a chapter he had left upstairs, asleep on the computer screen, boring even to itself. 'And of course the corollary to that is the fallacy that we as human beings are central, and that our aesthetic sense in some way makes us central - think of the position he paints himself in, right between those two inscribed empty globes on the wall...'" ........Hmmm... Not empty anymore. ........."On Beauty" is a great novel by Zadie Smith. This parody "Pizza Boy" was part of a contest to celebrate the 402th birthday of Rembrandt. There are more here.
