Yes, Modigliani did have something going on with necks. I believe they are like the necks in Pre-Raphelite paintings, quite pahlic. did you know that the word cervix is related to the word neck? The cervix is the neck of the womb.<BR/><BR/>Amy, yes Orson Welles was intrigued by the fake wasn't he....well he was a writer and actor, two professions that deal with faking emotional scenarios. One has to be pretty good at faking things to FEEL authentic...and I hope I was able to suggest that in my post.<BR/><BR/>Wylie, thankyou so much you really made my day as I read your comment, my god, thank you so much!!!<BR/><BR/>Stagg, I thought this was pretty weird and funny as I had posted this the day before, I hope the art theives come to my blog...I bet they will. I've had a lot of visitors this past week who had googled "art thieves" or "forgery"...<BR/><BR/>Tim, I think that both emulating or sampling or copying...are both an homage and a rip off. Somehow there are some artists/writers who d it better than others. I also believe all stories and versions of art and image are connected and related.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-28185146382823506362007-03-01T19:13:00.000-05:002007-03-01T19:13:00.000-05:00I recall doing a pastiche on Jack Shadbolt when I ...I recall doing a pastiche on Jack Shadbolt when I attended York U. Though my efforts were praised, the piece could never pass for a fake! It looked like a study by an art student for sure! I think that I could maybe fake a Tom Thompson if for some reason that was a thing to do. But I wonder how many fakes are actually passed off. Thinking od Mr. A's comments on the stolen Picassos reminds me of how much Picasso has been copied and used as a basis of marketable works. Do you think that it is inspairation or rip-off?<BR/>TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-58149588338158095042007-02-28T21:32:00.000-05:002007-02-28T21:32:00.000-05:00To Candy Minx & all her friends!!!Today at lunch b...To Candy Minx & all her friends!!!<BR/><BR/>Today at lunch break I heard on Public Radio WBEZ Chicago that some Picasso's were stolen from a prominent apartment...I just thought I'd mention this tidbit considering the interest of stolen art stories at the beginning under the Orson Wells picture....!?<BR/><BR/>STAGGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-91479323693237255132007-02-27T16:03:00.000-05:002007-02-27T16:03:00.000-05:00You should have your own newspaper column.

I guess it should be flattering that someone even wants to forge a an artist's work - but I find myself furious over the theft of my web design and photography by the new County Clerk - so I have just talked myself into being flattered thanks to your post!Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-20969799602124113052007-02-25T15:59:00.000-05:002007-02-25T15:59:00.000-05:00I read once that the American symbolist painter, A...I read once that the American symbolist painter, Albert Pinkham Ryder created a small number of works in his lifetime compared to the number hanging in American museums.
