It's me, not you... <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/jphotos/SDLW4DQTMN1F9YAA6.jpg"> Daedalus and Icarus, at the Hermitage, in St. Petersberg. le Brun. Wish I'd never seen it...

Posted By: Bottom of the NinthAnyone?

Posted By: MikeOhhhh, I see how this is vintage baseball related!

Posted By: Bottom of the NinthThis could be the sequel to The Da Vinci Code. Is there a cryptographer in the house?

Posted By: Trevor HockingLOL WOW!!! Hey Julie, Did you buy the painting? Was it stolen?

Posted By: PaulDedalus and Icarus were middle infielders for Troy in the early 1880s.

Posted By: Max WederThe post can only be explained mathematically <img src="http://ettinger.ca/equation10.gif">

Posted By: Peter_SpaethIcarus had a promising career but his ascent was short-lived.

Posted By: joeLooks like Julie has gone from collecting sports items to fine art collecting. Joe

Posted By: WesleyThat is a nice painting Julie. Congratulations! Now we know where the proceeds from the card sales went.

Posted By: Anonymoushopefully the New York Daily News and the Ohio Prosecuters won't catch up with you. run turtle run... edited of course: better just haul ass turtle..

Posted By: Bottom of the NinthI am hurt. What about my recent pick up? This one set me back a few bucks too. <img src="http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/2484/002monalisa6sg.jpg">

Posted By: Peter_SpaethWhat do 17th century masterpieces go for these days anyhow? Was the Hermitage having a fire sale? Russian state museums have been known to do that. Wonder if it will appear in a future REA auction?

Posted By: AnonymousIt's almost just like nearly exactly like Tom Thumbs blues

Posted By: Cobby33The relevant moral of the Icarus story: Don't store your cards in direct sunlight.

Posted By: Peter_Spaeth"The relevant moral of the Icarus story: Don't store your cards in direct sunlight." Or your wax packs.

Posted By: Todd SchultzThanks for checking in. You sold me my first Colgans, causing yet another addiction. I won't forget--might be part of some 12 step program.

Posted By: Daedalusof yeah sure...blame the architect

Posted By: rickthis one sold last week for a cool 135 mill... <img src="http://img.slate.com/media/1/123125/123118/2135763/2142769/060620_art_Klimt1EX.jpg">

Posted By: Cobby33Good call.

Posted By: Anonymousi'll have to go with..blame the artist on that one... ...good lord..blame someone.

Posted By: jay behrensI gotta figure out how to get in on this art scam. sadly, it doesn't seem to pay off until you die. Jay Growing old is not optional, growing up is.

Posted By: leonI would not have given a penny over 134 mil for that bottom picture...not one red cent....

Posted By: Max WederEveryone's an art critic..... <img src="http://static.flickr.com/38/103032971_99d0cdea2a.jpg">

Posted By: Cobby33That driver seems to have some SWEET sideburns!

Posted By: J LevineJulie, These paintings were widely reprinted in the 1980s. I hope yours does not say on the back that "This rare one of a kind painting is treasured by collectors and is worth nearly $1 million dollars." Joshua

Posted By: davidcyclebackMy guess is that child's drawing was not drawn by a child.

Posted By: jackgoodmanHow sad......a family and their home about to be destoyed by a black hole.

Posted By: Josh AdamsI dunno, these paintings look trimmed to me.... Will SGC grade them? Go Go White Sox 2005 World Series Champions!

Posted By: Josh K.That is very said - though I didnt realize it was a black hole - I thought a meteor was bearing down on earth about to send us into a new ice age.

Posted By: Gilbert MainesNo, look at the family - they are happy! The daddy just invented a tornado rotator. Creating a harmless spiraling wind parallel to peoples property. Hurray for daddies everywhere! (and mommys too). Or if you prefer, it is gloomy and menacing.

Posted By: Kevin CummingsArt is certainly a medium widely open to individual interpretation. All the while I thought this last picture was John, Sean and Yoko with a copy of Double Fantasy. So, Julie, are you ever going to chime in and tell us what the heck you really meant?

Posted By: Gilbert MainesI believe that Julie meant that she would have painted folded wings on the reclining male - who is that? Dedalus, Icarus, or a stranger?

Posted By: jackgoodmanDedalus, Icarus ???? What were the names of the other two: <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1150992591.JPG"> OK, we're officially being silly now......

Posted By: Judge Dred (Fred)Jack - "What" is the name of the second baseman. Is it ok to insert poetry in this thread? Is that considered artistic? What about inserting dialogue from a baseball related skit? Here goes: Abbott: Well Costello, I'm going to New York with you. You know Bucky Harris, the Yankee's manager, gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team. Costello: Look Abbott, if you're the coach, you must know all the players. Abbott: I certainly do. Costello: Well you know I've never met the guys. So you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who's playing on the team. Abbott: Oh, I'll tell you their names, but you know it seems to me they give these ball players now-a-days very peculiar names. Costello: You mean funny names? Abbott: Strange names, pet names...like Dizzy Dean... Costello: His brother Daffy. Abbott: Daffy Dean... Costello: And their French cousin. Abbott: French? Costello: Goofè. Abbott: Goofè Dean. Well, let's see, we have on the bags, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third... Costello: That's what I want to find out. Abbott: I say Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third. Costello: Are you the manager? Abbott: Yes. Costello: You gonna be the coach too? Abbott: Yes. Costello: And you don't know the fellows' names? Abbott: Well I should. Costello: Well then who's on first? Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow's name. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy on first. Abbott: Who. Costello: The first baseman. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy playing... Abbott: Who is on first! Costello: I'm asking YOU who's on first. Abbott: That's the man's name. Costello: That's who's name? Abbott: Yes. Costello: Well go ahead and tell me. Abbott: That's it. Costello: That's who? Abbott: Yes. PAUSE Costello: Look, you gotta first baseman? Abbott: Certainly. Costello: Who's playing first? Abbott: That's right. Costello: When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money? Abbott: Every dollar of it. Costello: All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name on first base. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy that gets... Abbott: That's it. Costello: Who gets the money... Abbott: He does, every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Costello: Whose wife? Abbott: Yes. PAUSE Abbott: What's wrong with that? Costello: Look, all I wanna know is when you sign up the first baseman, how does he sign his name? Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy. Abbott: Who. Costello: How does he sign... Abbott: That's how he signs it. Costello: Who? Abbott: Yes. PAUSE Costello: All I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name on first base. Abbott: No. What is on second base. Costello: I'm not asking you who's on second. Abbott: Who's on first. Costello: One base at a time! Abbott: Well, don't change the players around. Costello: I'm not changing nobody! Abbott: Take it easy, buddy. Costello: I'm only asking you, who's the guy on first base? Abbott: That's right. Costello: Ok. Abbott: All right. PAUSE Costello: What's the guy's name on first base? Abbott: No. What is on second. Costello: I'm not asking you who's on second. Abbott: Who's on first. Costello: I don't know. Abbott: He's on third, we're not talking about him. Costello: Now how did I get on third base? Abbott: Why you mentioned his name. Costello: If I mentioned the third baseman's name, who did I say is playing third? Abbott: No. Who's playing first. Costello: What's on first? Abbott: What's on second. Costello: I don't know. Abbott: He's on third. Costello: There I go, back on third again! PAUSE Costello: Would you just stay on third base and don't go off it. Abbott: All right, what do you want to know? Costello: Now who's playing third base? Abbott: Why do you insist on putting Who on third base? Costello: What am I putting on third. Abbott: No. What is on second. Costello: You don't want who on second? Abbott: Who is on first. Costello: I don't know. Abbott & Costello Together:Third base! PAUSE Costello: Look, you gotta outfield? Abbott: Sure. Costello: The left fielder's name? Abbott: Why. Costello: I just thought I'd ask you. Abbott: Well, I just thought I'd tell ya. Costello: Then tell me who's playing left field. Abbott: Who's playing first. Costello: I'm not... stay out of the infield! I want to know what's the guy's name in left field? Abbott: No, What is on second. Costello: I'm not asking you who's on second. Abbott: Who's on first! Costello: I don't know. Abbott & Costello Together: Third base! PAUSE Costello: The left fielder's name? Abbott: Why. Costello: Because! Abbott: Oh, he's centerfield. PAUSE Costello: Look, You gotta pitcher on this team? Abbott: Sure. Costello: The pitcher's name? Abbott: Tomorrow. Costello: You don't want to tell me today? Abbott: I'm telling you now. Costello: Then go ahead. Abbott: Tomorrow! Costello: What time? Abbott: What time what? Costello: What time tomorrow are you gonna tell me who's pitching? Abbott: Now listen. Who is not pitching. Costello: I'll break your arm, you say who's on first! I want to know what's the pitcher's name? Abbott: What's on second. Costello: I don't know. Abbott & Costello Together: Third base! PAUSE Costello: Gotta a catcher? Abbott: Certainly. Costello: The catcher's name? Abbott: Today. Costello: Today, and tomorrow's pitching. Abbott: Now you've got it. Costello: All we got is a couple of days on the team. PAUSE Costello: You know I'm a catcher too. Abbott: So they tell me. Costello: I get behind the plate to do some fancy catching, Tomorrow's pitching on my team and a heavy hitter gets up. Now the heavy hitter bunts the ball. When he bunts the ball, me, being a good catcher, I'm gonna throw the guy out at first base. So I pick up the ball and throw it to who? Abbott: Now that's the first thing you've said right. Costello: I don't even know what I'm talking about! PAUSE Abbott: That's all you have to do. Costello: Is to throw the ball to first base. Abbott: Yes! Costello: Now who's got it? Abbott: Naturally. PAUSE Costello: Look, if I throw the ball to first base, somebody's gotta get it. Now who has it? Abbott: Naturally. Costello: Who? Abbott: Naturally. Costello: Naturally? Abbott: Naturally. Costello: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally. Abbott: No you don't, you throw the ball to Who. Costello: Naturally. Abbott: That's different. Costello: That's what I said. Abbott: You're not saying it... Costello: I throw the ball to Naturally. Abbott: You throw it to Who. Costello: Naturally. Abbott: That's it. Costello: That's what I said! Abbott: You ask me. Costello: I throw the ball to who? Abbott: Naturally. Costello: Now you ask me. Abbott: You throw the ball to Who? Costello: Naturally. Abbott: That's it. Costello: Same as you! Same as YOU! I throw the ball to who. Whoever it is drops the ball and the guy runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to What. What throws it to I Don't Know. I Don't Know throws it back to Tomorrow, Triple play. Another guy gets up and hits a long fly ball to Because. Why? I don't know! He's on third and I don't give a darn! Abbott: What? Costello: I said I don't give a darn! Abbott: Oh, that's our shortstop.

Posted By: Julie Vognaror a lucky guess, along the lines of the 1,000,000 monkeys typing out the complete works of William Shakespeare... and I guess I've corresponded with murcerdfan. I don't OWN the picture; I just said I wish I'd never seen it. My friend Britt Peter has a HUGE DVD of many, many works of art from the Hermitage--he's going to make me a kosher copy some day (his is only on PAL--the European DVD system). It was such a GAS to see all these responses to my post! Wonders are not likiely to cease soon. If in your wanderings on the net, you come across a work of fiction called 'The Clothes that You Once Wore" --from the Dylan song---you'll know about how i broke the greatest taboos of society, and especislly the MOST SACRED ones of little corner of it to which I belong...all of which, as usual, I think is bullsh**t. besides, Julie doesn't even KNOW all those words, does she? I own the little plastic statue with moving parts that has the "Who's on First" recording inside. Also love Klimpt (the gold painting--but that's not my favorite one). Just like Tom Thumb's Blues (mercerfan) When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Eastertime too Ands gravity fails and negativity dont pull you through Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue Cause they got some hungry women there Really make a mess out of you. If you see St. Annie, please tell her thanks a lot I cannot move, and my fingers they are all in a knot I haven't got the strength to get up and take another shot And my best friend the doctor won't even say what I've got. All the authorities , they just sit around and boast How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-armns into leaving his post And speaking of Angel, who just arrived here from the coast Who looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost. Sweet Lucinda, the fellows all calll her the goddess of gloom She speaks good English and she invites you up into her room And you're so kind and careful not to go to her to soon Amd she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon. I started out on burgundy but soon hit ther harder stuff\ Everybody said they'd stand beside me if the game got rough But you know the joke was on me, there wasn't even anybody there to bluff I'm going back to New York City, I do believe I've had enough. That's Daedalus (note spelling correction), fitting his son with wings, but he flies too near the sun, and they melt. "..and laid the ministering angel out among the wild columbine, wings folded." favorite..it's 4 in the morning!

Posted By: Julie Vognar"Now I hope all that is perfectlty clear."

Posted By: BcDvote republican! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Julie VognarThat song is by Bob Dylan, not mercerfan... I'd druther cut off my right hand than vote Republican...well O.K., my left one... BcD---holy sh**t! What are you doing here?

Posted By: E, DanielIf Julie was a republican running for office, it would be a classic example of vote for the person and not the holder. edited for funniness.
