If Chimp were a fine art painting, what/which would it be?

[DemoTex]

Ship of Fools by Hieronymus Bosch.



Your pick?

[JVS]

1. Dogs playing poker

The other paintings have too much class to be bush.

Edit: here's the pic

3. Fuseli's "Nightmare"

[Darth_Ole]

13. Mona Lisa..

Except that mysterious smile would be a smirk instead.

4. oops - see next post

[NYC]

5. Bosch.

Bush would be the face in the bush. Not the face up in the tree, but the little, horrible face in the right side of the bush, which I think is on the end of the staff being held by the court jester(?), who is drinking out of a martini glass type cup.

[DemoTex]

That's Bu$h! Swilling grog.

However notice, from the public domain copy of "Ship of Fools" I included in my original post, the skull and bones high in the burning bush. Bosch knew!

[Avalux]

6. Munch - The Scream

Doesn't necessarily depict chimpy - how I react when I see or hear him.

[DemoTex]

12. Oh yes! Me. Not Bu$h!

Hands over ears. I cannot stand to hear his voice. Good choice, sparosnare.

[Khephra]

7. I changed my mind...this Giger one instead

[pa28]

24. I was gonna say . . .

Goya's "horrors of war" series but I think you nailed it.

[freeforall]

9. Kazimir Malevich's

Suprematist Composition: White on White (c. 1918, Oil on canvas, Russian painter)

(Sorry, no picture). It shows a white square on a white background.

10. He'd never be fine art...

something carelessly slopped on velvet is more like it:

I think he's the chimp, 3rd pic down. BTW, I have seen some killer velvet Elvis paintings in Vegas. These are just dreadful, more for what they depict, than anything else.

11. Another Bosch-ibility

The Extraction of the Stone of Madness (The Cure of Folly)

[NYC]

20. We certainly know someone who needs a stone of madness extracted.

That's perfect.

[InkAddict]

14. Renamed "Rape of the American Worker" and found under his bed

15. Dogs Playing Poker.....on black velvet

Actually I think this one is over the couch at Crawford.

[foo_bar]

16. self-explanatory?

On edit: in case it isn't, the allegory is Persephone and the fearsome Elephant of the Styx. Potent stuff.

[nuxvomica]

17. What about a fine-art photograph?

[DemoTex]

18. Oh, perfect.

[Dover]

He's hardly aged a day....
