So the maid cleaned up the place and replaced the painting? I thought maybe the new painting would contain the junk from the first frame, but apparently not.
She didn’t replace the painting. She cleaned up things, including the contents of the painting.
Uh, no, she didn’t replace Picasso’s ‘Guernica’, she ‘straightened it out’, so to speak.
Argentine cartoonist Quino has been around for decades; aside from the comic strip “Mafalda” most of his cartoons are wordless and readily understood anywhere. His books are worth seeking out.
Lead us not into Penn Station …
I love the cartoon, but boy, drawing it had to be more work than a whole “Where’s Waldo?” book.
Given the record player and cassette player and the four, I think, ashtrays, I imagine this is quite an old drawing. To me it looks mostly quite normal – in fact, where I am sitting I can touch a record player and a cassette player (along with a 1970s Marantz amp and a CD player plus a more modern laptop and an iPhone). No ashtrays though.
Before I noticed the painting, I thought this might have been an art installation that the maid cleaned up and ruined.
She didn’t just straighten up “Guernica”, she made it peaceful.
Namitaj – looking around, it appears to date from 1982.
Taking away its entire point.
When it was in the Art Institute of Chicago, First Hubby and I went to see it. We stepped off the elevator and practically walked into the painting; it was overwhelming.
Like in one of the Superman movies when Superman straightens up the leaning tower of Pisa.
FIVE DAYS LATER . . .
Oh, that Kliban is great! And there’s a nice mix of elements from other artists as well as the Guernica figures.
Comics I Don't Understand
