Boy with the Pipe

[blobrana]

Hum,
 time for a bit of culture...
Pablo Picasso's "Boy with the Pipe" became the most expensive painting ever sold at auction on Wednesday when it fetched $104,168,000 at Sotheby's in New York....

Smoke It!

Hum,
color balance of the differant films used, and the use of indoor lights...

Also, i noticed that the former most expensive painting may possible have been burnt/destroyed by it`s owner (to avoid inheritance tax )

Van Gogh’s Portrait de Dr Gachet (bought for $82.5 million by Ryoei Saito in 1990), has not been seen since the Japanese paper magnate died in 1996.

Shame if it has, and we only have a few photos of it....

Hum,
so it supposed to be a young Parisian boy holding a pipe in his left hand and wearing a garland of flowers.


see!

Strange way he`s holding that pipe (i assume he is right handed)...it`s backwards...holding it for someone else?...

And the style is almost japanese, (black borders around block colours...)
