    Painting of young boy. He got excited when he saw “The Birth of Venus” and needed a closer look.

    Thar painter was so talented, and his paintings are so lifelike (I swear you can see them move). I can’t believe that he was arrested for violating child labor laws.

    When Rodin’s “The Kiss” was placed on display, “Night at the Museum” got a lot more interesting (not to mention a PG-13 Rating).

    M.C. Escher’s effort to cleverly show a painted frame within a real frame failed to bogle the mind as had his earlier efforts.

    He’s a wonderf’lly sly little squirt/ he’s devious, spry, and alert -/ but he seems unaware/ that he’s drawing a stare/ and an undershirt couldn’t hurt.

    Escaping Criticism

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Escaping_criticism_by_Caso.jpg 

    (best viewed with Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most webpages as necessary) has info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelop size painting.

     

    Other than 

    https://books.google.com/books?id=6Q3BDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA41#v=onepage&q&amplf=false 

    I couldn’t find online info about this artist, other than what’s pointed to by the title URL. It also discusses the strip painting; but, unless that’s a duplicate, it isn’t where the author says it is. First work by this artist used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2489 (July 9, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
