Mona Lisa revisited (yet again)

I know, I know this is too easy. But somebody had to do it. And I shouldn't be always so damn serious.

  3. ;-( oh, shit, now I followed the link...

    But, anyway. There was a better artist from Eastgermany- Strawalde- doing that kind of overpaintings much better in the 70s and 80s. He was very a very influential teacher for Young Eastgerman Artists then, f.e. for A.R.Penck

    See this serie of Postcardoverpaintings of Liotards Schokoladenmädchen from Galerie Alte Meister Dresden on Strawaldes Webseite here:

    to see the next painting click the Link "Nächstes Bild"

    PS I bought a signed Catalogue of this in 1994 in Berlin, on it is also a pencil drawing by Strawalde.

  4. The mona lisa postcard project is a small part of San Francisco artist, Michael Rosenthal's, ebay art project.
    Rosenthal purchased 100 painting on ebay and gave tem to 30 artists around the country to transform. It can be viewed at www.wefixart.com
