    I had heard that Muslim countries prohibited the human form in art. Must have been misinformed.

    all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2049 (September 27, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

     

    For those who follow my comments: as was the case Monday, sparse information is available (to me anyway) about this painting. I have no confirmation concerning its title, location, medium, or dimensions, and even its date (most say 1886, but one said 1910) is in question (to me anyway). Unlike Monday, when I had someone to ask, I have no one (given the current state of affairs between the US and Iran).

    Since I had someone to contact concerning Monday’s painting, I have updated its title and medium, as well as adding its current location, dimensions, and accession number in that comment’s first URL:

    Don’t expect such an update for this painting.

    After leaving Chicago, the Blues Brothers had a lot of different incarnations, eventually, ending up as the Tehran Trio ( Shown here, playing at a bar mitzvah for the Ayatollah’s nephew ).
