‘Absolute Schlock-Terrible Art’. This is an example of when you take two great artists and you combine two of their renderings into one – In this case the result is an artistic catastrophe. The first is a masterwork of Gladiators in Rome by the French painter Jean-Leon Gerome titled: ‘ollice Verso’ (‘Thumbs Down’. The second is a 3D rendering by Alastair Leslie and is a variation from two pictures of historical masterwork quality he did for me titled: ‘Gladiatrix Fighters Death Pit’, and ‘We, Who Are About To Die’. This variation was never used and as a lark he superimposed a 3D image into the ‘Thumbs Down’ painting. He sent it to me as a laugh and titled it: ‘Nutty Picture’. Adding, “I had a moment of madness & used some of the files that were still hanging around, before I deleted them.” What’s wrong with this picture – Let me count the ways. First: The painting is not as crisp in detail as the 3D rendering. It’s obviously an insert. Second: It is done tongue-in-cheek and very campy, and yet there are those who will view this as a serious work. I am sorry to say, especially we Americans. And more, but we’ll keep this to last – And worst: The ‘Deviant Art’ censors will yank it for copyright violation because the original Gerome resides in the Phoenix Art Museum, unless the following is stated:
I have permission from Wikipedia to show the painting from ‘Thumbs Down’ by virtue that it is in the public domain, and in addition they own the image that was used by Alistair to create the uploaded rendering. Also, in addition, the following is from their site on images they own that are in the ‘ublic Domain’
