...and of course, all roads lead back to Hirst!  Damian Hirst, Love's Paradox, 2007 ... ooh, no they don't - I believe everybody got the idea from the alien animal(s) Forlæns og Baglæns - Forwards and Backwards - from the world famous Danish TV-show "Bamse på Planeten" (Teddy on the Planet), made in 1982, back when all decent producers of kids tv were still heavily drugged. I'm sure Damien Hirst watched it all the time... Forwards:  and Backwards:  (in the background you see the pear-shaped spaceship of Arthur the planet-caretaker ...mmm....drugs...) The hole point with Forwards and Backwards was that every night before they went to sleep Teddy showed them a little movie. First Forwards watched it and then they turned around to let Backwards watch the movie backwards - which was the best part of the whole show! |

Indeed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGOFoDpUHOA3:00 Forlæns og Baglæns shows up, greeting Bamse with their trademark "gooonyf" - a word/sound I haven't thought about for 20 years... oh, those childhood memories...we were all so incredibly intrigued by this show, everybody I knew. The best period in the 25 year career of Bamse (still going strong). - thank you for reminding me  |

This is an incredible adaptation of Ray's iconic artwork. On a personal note, I'm a bit disappointed when I saw it in a larger size though because I was sure until that point that the model actually has her thighs tattooed, but it turned out to be vinyl stockings or something. Oh well.. still a gorgeous composition. |

Pointed out to me by a blog I can't remember and later deleted the entry (which I found a bit odd...):  "Karamari", 2008, oil and graphite on wood... ... by Audrey Kawasaki who got inspired by the top left thingie in this Haeckel piece: 
Page from " Kunstformen der Natur" by Ernst Haeckel (.. and I won't remove this post!) |

Aaaah! Interesting! I don't think I'd ever have noticed! Well done you!  The bottom one is by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, btw. It's entitled "Young Girl Weeping for her Dead Bird". And weirdly enough, that's the complete painting and not a detail. |

 Thank you my dear! I had a feeling that if anyone could identify that painting, it would be you! Jared stumbled upon that one. It seemed a perfect follow-up to Colette's beautiful re-interpretation of Ernst. BTW, the Elstermann images are lovely...and nice call on Kawasaki's brittle star by Haeckel! |

You're most welcome. It's always good to know that 7 years of art history and ruining my sight by looking at blurry slides in utter darkness has had at least the positive effect that I can identify some works.  Oh, and you were of course right that it was a detail - my mind must have somehow superimposed the close-up of the original with Colette's composition. Sowwy.  |

Caryn Drexl is one of my favourite living female photographers ever and to see her iconic work being imitated makes me really angry. Even more so because the photographer in question had the indecency to even steal the name of Caryn's original character. Tssss.  Caryn Drexl's "Oh Sylvia" - which is hanging in my kitchen:  Karin Stenvall's "Sylvia":

It's a shame! Caryn's not even credited or linked from Ms Stenvall's website. That's more than inspiration, it's plagiarism.  |
