Guess the art/artist

#1

Post by Apelles »

Hidden beneath our sleeping moggie Megan, is a famous piece of art peeking out throw the dots.

But can you identify the artwork?

I can't tell. Move over Megan 😛
But I am wondering if it is a Dali image?

Yes, and Megan's pose is also a clue to the title.

Ah. I know what it is now. But I will let others guess.
It's the long sticky bits that made me know it was Dali.

:? No idea at all, not even with the smack-on-the-head clues ...

I don't really do art; ask my brother instead. :mrgreen:

The ginger hair on the puss cat's face is very striking against the black.

Looks more Sydney Nolan to me- but i'm no oficiando of Dali so I can't seem to find using his name, and when I look at the image - whereas Megan is eye candy. Is it really Salvatore's? or have I stumbled across fake art :o

Hi Banshee and welcome to Gubu.

Its definitely not a fake but a well known genuine Dali . . but I can see were you were going with the Sydney Nolan feel.

Is that a pyramid hiding behind Megan's lovely pink nose? The radiator reminds me of Augustus W Pugin's lovely home - is that the work of art apelles?

I'm stumped. The only Dali I know is the melting clocks one - I've been scouring around, but can't find a match!

She's sleeping in my office at the moment, hiding out there from her brother Harry who keeps trying to ride her even though they're both neutered . . Very strange.
Anyway Fugue did you notice there's a written clue as well as the visual image?

I had to cave in and ask my art teacher friend - never found it before she showed it to me. She figured it out quickly!
Yes, I see the clue. 😊
