I know he is holding a lantern, but if you look at it just right it also looks like a light hanging from the ceiling, and he’s holding a margarita; which to me makes this painting much more interesting.
It honestly took me a while to realize he was not holding a martini. We have martini glasses that look just like that.
Hahaha. Yes I see it lol
with a LIGHT
Yeah sure it's really the light that stands out. HE HAS A GUN MR. ROCKWELL!!!
Back then, it was just assumed that everyone would be holding a gun. Everybody in every Norman Rockwell painting has a gun. If you don't see it, it's just because it's behind their body. /s
agent michael scarn, this is a wendy's restaurant
Wonderful artist, altho I find his stuff so "telegraphed" at times that it self-sabotages.
Pieces like this are exceptionally cool to me because they dispense with that 'borderline-propaganda' Americana angle to get right to the spirit of the piece, so to speak. This is just great...
Yeah, theres quite a few artists who are famous for the worst art they made yet have a lot of great stuff
Wow... I guess you may be right. oO
Gramps really needs to work on the trigger discipline.
Actual title is "Old Man On Stairway"
Old Man About To Bust A Cap
”Whatcha got there?”
”A light.”
There is a meme in here
Agreed
Extremely America brained painting from probably the most America brained painter
I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
This is also art lol
Grandpa Joe going out to "buy" some Wonka bars.
This is actually a portrait of a white South African. You can tell by how he is taking a gun with him for even the most mundane tasks, for he lives in fear of the black majority which would gladly turn him into yet another victim of white genocide. Sadly, the Western media and South African government have been so successful at rewriting history that even images of the white population in South Africa are now said to be of other people elsewhere. Are brave white South African freedom fighters like Elon so rare to find?
Looks like he is holding his cocktail up to the light to check it.
That's what the ghost sees when it's made too much noise and attracts attention
Just a look of “we really doing this again?”
