A card from the rack - from RCBz

A few Weeks ago Cheryl blogged this gallery of Monas featuring several of the works she received for her mail-art call, a masterpiece like only RCBz can do them. I remember commenting on her blog saying that I wouldn't be surprised if the tiny postcards on the rack by the museum shop were also made with Monas that Cheryl received, made microscopic by RCBz's hand.
And... what do I receive the other day? A card from the rack!! :-)) How great is that?

So that's where my Mona ended up!! I just love this card. The hijacked painting looks very familiar but I can't track it down right now. Anyone knows? In any case, I think my ridiculous Mona at the hairdresser looks much better in her new environment than in the public venue where she was stolen. RCBz, you're the master, I love it, thank you!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 4, 2012 at 5:25pm: RCBz raises an interesting point about the problems of selling well-known artwork that has been stolen.

Related to this, I read a (reputable) article about the fact that the amount of fakes held in museums is fairly astounding and a subject the museums and curators are not much interested in discussing.

Comment by vizma bruns on March 4, 2012 at 1:12am: Hairdresser, model scout, I was kind of there! The girl leaving the scene that got rejected really needs to toughen up if she wants to continue modelling.

Comment by Marie Wintzer on March 4, 2012 at 12:45am: Hi Frieder. Lisa whispered to the secret to my ear. The artist is Francois-Andre Vincent, and the painting is Zeuxis Choosing Models from the Beautiful Women of Croton, 1789. It can been seen at the Louvre.

Comment by Frieder Speck on March 3, 2012 at 4:41pm: It looks a lot like a Nicolas Poussin but I´m not sure

Comment by vizma bruns on March 3, 2012 at 12:24pm: Oh you girls! I'm in very fine company too!!! ;-))

Comment by Marie Wintzer on March 3, 2012 at 10:16am: Oh so he's the hairdresser!? :-))))) Vizma you crack me up

Comment by vizma bruns on March 3, 2012 at 10:13am: No, but I'm glad the girl standing in line is next to see the hairdresser, that half blonde top/ half black base DO is SO 12th Century.

Comment by Marie Wintzer on March 3, 2012 at 10:01am: Isn't it fab! Great work. So the photo in the middle, I hijacked from your blog and added the white arrow just to show people which rack he was talking about. His card is actually the last photo at the bottom. Any idea which painting that is?

Comment by cheryl penn on March 3, 2012 at 9:29am: A card from the rack :-))) - that is SO FAB! Is the second image also from RCBz? He's excelling at this! :-) XX
