My goodness! - thanks for the praise, Georga...unfortunately the 'trees by
Norman abbey ' is on an unnamed beautiful hardwood block I was given in the
UK -eventually
an expert on woods should be able to identify it for me.. the studio window
view was handcoloured with W&N artists watercolours.. I've now done 3 so
called Moku Hanga
prints but haven't got good enough photos to put up.. after all the
discussion re what actually defines Moku Hanga has it been decided what to
call the prints we make
using waterbased inks or colours with rice paste and handprinted with a
baren??? I haven't yet seen the show at the Japanese Foundation here in
Toronto (plan to go next Sat)
but altho' it's titled Moku Hanga I'm pretty sure much of the large
installation type work isn't printed by hand or maybe it is?! will know next
week..
BTW for those who didn't get the Monty Python skit - may I spell it out? -
surely the humour (apart from having Michelangelo instead of da Vinci) lies
in the the total misrepresentation
of Christ (3!), too many disciples etc., in the name of 'artistic
license' - a concept probably never alluded to in the Renaissance and so
'today'! now have I spoiled it for everyone?
cheers

Subject: [Baren 37358] the last supper(s)
Send Message: To this poster
I bet they just made a mistake with the Leonardo/Michelangelo authorship
of THE last supper.
However, in Florence alone there are over 20 frescoed versions of The Last
Supper (called i cenacoli in Italian) by artists from the 13th century through
the late 15th. Most major and minor artists covered the theme and most of the
major churches have somewhere in the church or choir or baptistry a version
freescoed on the wall.
One gets a great idea of dining customs of Italy in studying the settings;
the fork hadn't been introduced yet; one knife usually sufficed for the
table of thirteen as they ate with their hands. And poor Judas, always forced to
eat alone on the other side of the table.....it's no wonder he was the one to
go bad. (Google: i cenacoli di Firenze for a list of frescoes of the last
supper divided by painter/century.)
While Michelangelo didn't seem to leave one behind it is probably
because of the kangaroo.
Ciao,
Andrew.

Naaaaa
My money is on it being part and parcel of the Monty Python spoof.
Look at some of the other clips... they all have weird and very
create approach to the subject. One of the holy grail clips has a
knight getting all he limbs chopped off leaving him on the ground in
body only.... do you think that was a mistake?
The knights last words to his opponent were ....(paraphrased) Oh sure
run off just when I was about to bite your legs off.
Monty Python is not to be taken literally....
They were decades ahead of the times.

My poor suffering husband (a mighty Python fan!) explained it this way - the Pope went first to Michaelangelo, but when he took too much 'artistic license' (and wouldn't take the kangaroo out) so the final one ended up being done by DaVinci.
