The backstabber and the juggling ant

Basado en "El Tocador de Pifano de Manet...si tambien Manet. Creo que tengo una fijacion

Based on the painting " EL tocador de Pifano" by Manet....yes yes him again...I think I have a sort of fixation with him.

To end the Trilogy

Zola at the office

Also a painting by Manet... In this one I decided to go even a litle bit more pop. The simbolism has gon up a bit, because now we don't have osiris personified to represent ancient culture. I have reduced him to a mummy. Well actualy, Emil Zola is partly mummified. I really don't know if he was right handed, but since its the most common thing, I mummified his right arm to simbolize tradition. The book he is reading is suppost to be a the best seller novell HARRY POTTER...(jijijiji)

In the backround the original painting had some images of influeces that Manet and the rest of the impresionsits had. I think it was a japonese engraving by an artis called Utagawa Kuniyaki, a picture of Velazquez' "Los Borrachos" and a picture of his Olimpia.In my version there is insted of the japonese restler you have Anthony who is an anime caracter from a series called Candy Candy ( I grew up watchin this shit!), then instead of the drunkenmen i put Wayne and Garth from the movie Wayne's World, and my own olimpia.
The whole setting has changed from a nice 1868 writers little corner to a cubicle in an overcrowded office in the year 2007

Sant Agatha Worf style!!!!!

So here we have the olimpia mummified with her breast cut out on a trey on top of the table. Here maid is Worf, who instead of flowers has a buquet of eyes. The whole decoration reminds me of miami beach... I wouldn't live there thats for sure!.
I'm going to try to be brief with this explanation...

The woman in the original painting was said to be a prostitute, and that caused quite a big commotion at the time. We're talking about 1800's, this had no decorum. So a thought: lets give the people what they want. So I covered her up, and gave her atributes of two saints, one is Saint Agatha who had her breasts cut out and the other one is Saint Lucia who had her eyes carved out. Not a nice way to die by the way.Made her a saint!!!

Worf's place in the whole scenario is not that clear somebody suggested it and I thought it was a good idea... and thats it.
