If you find a picture like the one above, you will get a big reward of $5 million reward for returning all of the stolen art.  It was stolen 25 years ago as part of of $500 million art theft.

I have to say, La Grande Jatte by Seurat is one of my favourite pieces.  The time and vision involved in pointillism is astounding.

It has it's own charm but I really like faces I can distinguish.

What about this little babybooboobesolucious sweet one? She's too adorable it's almost unreal.

The proverb of the man and woman who are having hanky panky through the window is, "To marry under the broomstick." The meaning of it is, "To live together without marrying."

OK, art appreciators...



Talk about THIS one...

[RW]

The woman facing us looks like she is day dreaming while she bartends in reality (the scene behind).  She is clearly not happy about something in her life - probably a man.  She has that "men make me sad" look on her face.

[Leopardsocks]

Well, its a worthy start....however, the scene behind her is a mirror...does that change the perspective? Not only of the scene, but of the viewer?

[RW]

It is NOT a mirror.  The perspective is off as is the number of bottles on the bar in the supposed reflection.  No artist spends that much time on a painting to mess up a mirror image.



Look closer.

[Leopardsocks]

I'm sorry...but it very much IS a mirror!!!The painting reflects (sorry....had to be done) a scene in the Folies Bergeres...and the bar is the same now as it was in the late 19th century.



But, you're touching on the key issue.

[RW]

You're wrong.  Sorry.  It is not a mirror reflection.  It's an out of body "reflection".
