Chinese Take Away? Hat es der Mann von der Müllabfuhr auf der Straße verloren? Nein, leider hat der Titel heute nichts mit dem Bild zu tun. Ich fand nämlich heute heraus, daß irgendeine obskure chinesische Bilderfabrik ohne meine Zustimmung Kopien von einigen meiner Bilder anbietet, im Wunschformat und, wenn man will, gleich mit Rahmen. Die ganze Sache ist nun bei meinem Anwalt, mal sehen was daraus wird.

This is wonderful, lushy paint application, great combination of hot and cool as well as the right amount of movement in this street scene.
ReplyDeleteGood luck w/ "chinese take-away." I had a similar thing happen although it's a gallery in NYC. They were accepting portfolio for review and then made so called limited addition prints.
Wow. What Chutzpah. What nerve.
ReplyDeleteLet us know how this goes Edward.
I love the painting.
hehe - LOVE the painting AND the title! I share your pain! grr. thanks for expressing it so well!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing an website from UK a year or two ago with a similar offer to reproduce any picture/painting. Taiwan and China have had assembly line painting factories for years churning out method "furniture store" paintings. They are quite good artists some of them and it will be difficult to contain their web-based reproductions. It may take a trip to China and some "political" connections. Is there a coded method of labeling original art (on the back of painting) that would make a "copy" obvious? Childe Hassam (1859-1935) used to alter his signature occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a post about paintings from china and now I read this - unbelievable. If you still have some amusement left you can look the article in the Berliner Zeitung, maybe the painter there is your Chung.
