I find this discussion of art and labor at Grammar.police interesting, but have nothing substantive to add. However, the Sturtevant Mona Lisa reminded me of the much superior Frank Zappa concert poster hanging on my wall, and I wanted to share:
I’m convinced it’s actually Frank Zappa dressed and positioned in a painstaking recreation of the original painting, though everyone tells me I’m crazy.
Nice title.
That’s awesome!
If you don’t already visit me on Fridays, I always post an FZ selection; it’s an ongoing tradition called Friday Frank. Usually I find a music clip, but every so often I come across a TV interview or film short on YouTube, and up it goes.
How I miss that guy. I’m always wondering what he’d make of–and have to say about–politics 2007-style.
I haven’t seen that yet (only recently exposed to your blog through your guest posting), but I’ll look for it.
When I met my wife, her email address was dangerouskitchen (at something or other) and I’ve slowly gotten more Zappa-exposure since. Very sad that he’s gone.
The art that I like most is the architecture. The design of the buildings fascinates me.
