wheaties

The yellow tones in this painting by Egon Schiele, Field of Flowers, are almost perfectly reflected in Andy Warhol's Do It Yourself (Landscape). They were painted about sixty years apart. I Really Love these paintings.



I also Really Love doing Google Image searches for paintings and then seeing them all lined up in little rectangles next to each other like pretty floor tiles in a surrealist bathroom. I imagine it filled with mirrors, of course. The sink would be trompe l'oeil (not really a sink at all!), the shower would be fur-lined...and, well, you already know what the toilet would look like.
