Rene Magritte, the surrealist painter, painted this oil in 1928-29. The translation to English is: "This is not a pipe."
LandSea01 as I presented it isn't a 61 x 91 cm acrylic painting. It is a jpeg photograph of a painting of a digital photo montage of 3 photographs.
I wasn't going for the prize money. It's about logic: If a photograph can be art therefore a photograph of a painting of a photograph can also be art. Don't ask me what that means, David Hockney, I don't want to think about it. |
