Description

this is a page of one of my art history books that depicts leonardo da vinci's master peice "the mona lisa"
most likly the most famous piece of art of all time. alot of myth surrounds this protrait. it was painted durring the hight of the renaissance, it was one of the first protraits that depict this 3 quarter veiw, verses just showing the bust of the subject. i have heard from many sources that da vinci worked 2 yrs alone jsut working on her smile. those this painting has also been called "the smiling lady". alot of critics or purhaps jsut mud slingers, say that this is actually a self protrait of leo. da vinci in drag.
now with that odd note of sexuality, lets move to dadaism.
in marcels duchamp's "art piece" "L.H.O.O.Q." ( [link] ) he was taking the mona lisa and put graffiti on here face in order to attack the museums and traditional since of art at the time. purhaps he too heard the same rumor about this really being leo da vinci in a dress and decided to make fun of it? anyways l.h.o.o.q. is a play on words meaning "she has a hot ass" in franch. to the rest of the dadaist and surrealist her famous smile became a new example of repressed sexual desire in the consious mind.
now on my "art piece" is have put some graffiti of my own on her. he famous smile has become even more eternal with my eternal grin (i.e. she was cut from her mouth all the way up to her ears, then had half of her face sewn back on) in the spirit of pop art and dadaism i have taken one of the most beatiful peice ever painting and added my on touch of humor and maccabre. also i would like to point out that i want her name spelled "moan a lisa" because im a prevert and i like her hear girls name lisa moan.
i exsecpt this peice to be taken down by the collective rectum due to the "stolen image" but i jsut cant help myself.
i plane on making this an actual painting in the next couple of years, so that way more then just deviant society online can see it.
like or hate it, there it is.
