This is a joint entry:
Manfred Man Ray (Skim and alef)

Skim had the idea, put on the mascara, found the Aloe Vera gel and posed. I helped keep the gloops of gel in place, held the camera and messed about with contrast in photoshop.

I like that a lot

That's crap Alef - you've cut the kid's feet off.

he also seems to have travelled back in time as well although he does seem to be enjoying himself

 

[Dhimmi]

copies or interpretations of great works or art like paintings or sculpture are accepted

Thanks for the generosity in saying yes, I know loads of great paintings but I'm clueless when it comes to photography.

Much of Sam Mendes cinematography comes from paintings and photographs.

Road to Pedition...

Too true, I only really know Man Ray and Bill Brandt when it comes to the art photographer, then it's just snappers like Bailey, Lichfield etc. A gaping hole in my knowledge I must admit.

 

[Skim]

I should have bought some new mascara. Or falsies.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

That is brilliant, I know the original well. The standard has been set now.

I have a couple of badges of a detail of that photograph that I bought in the Koln Museum....I spent a week in it as treat by someone called Wintour after I pulled off a coup with taking some pickees of a bloke called Blahnik after some hysterical fuss with a woman called Ono ...of one eye and a tear...a strong image in meh Life that'en..the badges still come out occasionally...had lots of negative and positive things and events with that image....did I say that that image has a bit a hold on meh?

Now sometimes I get people giving me FREE bags in Lidl!!!!!1

 

[Skim]

a bloke called Blahnik

Would these kitten heels get me free bags in Lidl, though?

You'll be in good company

Seriously, have a go.

I think this fits the theme but maybe its a bit left-field. It's my re-working of a painting by the Irish painter John Kelly who died last year. The painting is of one of his daughters and a cat, sitting in red room. When I saw it, it was hanging in the same room as that pictured in the painting (iykwim). So I put together a collage of photo's of the actual room, his daughter and the painting to create my interpretation of his work.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Looks like an interesting challenge - providing Paul Russell can't enter in the style of Martin Parr

Interesting thought. I live just near the place where he did 'The Last Resort' indeed, I may be in it for all I know.

 

[Madusa]

should the original 'masterpiece' be included with the entry so it could be seen how one has interpreted it, etc?

 

[hiccup]

Nice theme. Bit more challenging than usual, but that's a good thing I think.

I'll check with mauvais if he's still able to do thumbnail bizzle, if not, I'll sort something out.

If possible, but it's to much hassle just name the work and artist and ppl can just do a google image search

I love this.

I just don't get that - have you asked them what the problem is?

 

[exosculate]

Very well chosen theme, I like this one alot.

from the FAQ's

It is imperative that you do NOT link directly to the images in their current location. You must download each image used and host it on your own web space.

so you'd have to download the image to your computer then ftp it to a webspace...then use that URL for Imageshack.

Or am I getting you completely wrong and you have done this already?

 

[Nina]

My first entry.

I used Guy Bourdin as inspiration:
