DESDEMONA LISA

Many masterpieces required countless hours to reach that which we admire so much. Have you ever wondered if there were different versions? Perhaps, something different the artist rejected. The above works by some very famous artists demonstrate this point. Each is close to the art we have come to admire. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each of these ladies is holding beauty.

  1. «Louis» was disappointed when he clicked to enlarge the photo that La Giaconda was not holding the latest Yugo brochure...

  2. There are many examples of sketches or version of the final pieces we all known. These admired ladies looks proud of being in front of your lens!

  3. Thanks for providing these missing pieces to our collective art database. These paintings must be studied carefully to explain the common feature now linking these works.

  9. Pretty cute! Looks like a bag shop.

    Re your comment on The Villages DP: I think golf cars and Yugos could get along fine. They both go about the same speed, right? ;-)
