Mistigram: everyone speaks of the #MonaLisa’s mysterious smile, but the soul of a smile is in the eyes - so here they are, lifted from #LeonardoDaVinci’s #LaGioconda by @the_mythical_man, along with an enigmatic message that perhaps even he does not fully understand. No matter, it makes sense to me! This drawing was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/38UmYQR
Mistigram: We’ve got another approach at #LaGioconda from the MIST0120 artpack to share with you and I can’t do a better job at framing it than the author @joel.borjel did, so here he is: “[Slavoj Žižek voice] Here is depicted a plain grey surface, broken by a cartoonish, worm-infested wound. Out of this wound springs the tiniest #ANSIart #MonaLisa. The injury represents a disturbance to our consciousness, and the painting is our cultural penis.” https://ift.tt/2RMtgME
Mistigram: the appeal of #LeonardoDaVinci’s #MonaLisa spans across cultures and between styles and genres… @the_mythical_man seems to be suggesting that #LaGioconda even exerts a certain pull across geological epochs and species lines! This drawing was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RKblq9
Mistigram: @kalchano’s #Shift_JIS take on #LeonardoDaVinci’s #MonaLisa, #LaGioconda, is quite different - but remains peculiarly familiar! This piece was also included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RICbPi
Mistigram: perhaps the most covered artwork in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection, here’s a @horsenburger #teletext adaptation of #LaGioconda, #LeonardoDaVinci’s 1503 painting the #MonaLisa. https://ift.tt/2RIdliC
Mistigram: there is another famous portrait of Pope #InnocentX - this one was painted by #FrancisBacon in 1953 and tells a very different story. It was also adapted to #pixelart by @Ordinary_pixel and included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/38TK4r2
Mistigram: and this painting, by @the_mythical_man, is meant wholly as an homage to #WassilyKandinsky. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/36Ch0Tr
Mistigram: this #Shift_JIS screen by @kalchano, on the other hand, straddles the worlds of #PaulKlee and #WassilyKandinsky, as moderated through a snatch of French poetry. Can you perceive the relationship? This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RHaC9d
Mistigram: this work of #fusionbead #pixelart by @webersso.n is made explicitly in homage to the works of the artist #PaulKlee. It was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RDVGbQ
Mistigram: we felt that a detail from #GeorgesSeurat’s #pointillist 1884 painting #LaGrandeJatte would be a good fit for @carlos_teletextr’s pixelated #teletext style… but when we pitched it to him, he revealed that he’d already been working on an adaptation! This screen was simply meant to be part of this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/3aVQasQ
Mistigram: good morning! For no apparent reason, here’s a #pixelart adaptation by @Ordinary_pixel of a painted portrait of Pope #InnocentX by #DiegoVelazquez. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2GAnE1E
Mistigram: the icing on the cake of our #Banksy showcase today, @8bitbaba adapted his #FlowerThrower (unrhymed) into stylish #pixelart. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2O9qcYN
Mistigram: @axbmusic returns to #Banksy for this #ASCIIart adaptation of “#LaughNow”. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RDn8Xl
Mistigram: what would #graffiti even look like in a computer art context? #Banksy explored the question - a #barcode? - in this #TaggingRobot piece, and @8bitbaba adapted it to #pixelart. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2U99ZGW
Mistigram: @axbmusic certainly has his finger on the #streetart beat; taking a brief diversion from today’s Banksy parade, here’s his uncoloured #ANSIart take on #DissectedCompanion by #Kaws, a kind of toony skull and crossbones cross section of a friendly Mickey Mouse-like figure. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/314RvbZ
Mistigram: @8bitbaba revisited the well, and also made a #pixelart adaptation of #Banksy’s #FastFoodCaveman. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2U3plwJ
Mistigram: @axbmusic is also enamoured of the street art of #Banksy, and made an #ASCIIart adaptation of his #GrinReaper. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/31ase0b
Mistigram: we couldn’t get around the #elephant in the room, the contemporary street artist with the most buzz on social media and in the auction houses - here’s a #pixelart adaptation of #Banksy’s #HeavyWeaponryRocketBombElephant made by @8bitbaba. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2U4Ij68
Mistigram: one more wacky ode to #MCEscher, here’s his 1947 woodcut print #AnotherWorld (actually Another World II, perhaps we should call it Heart of the Alien) rendered in #Shift_JIS textmode again by @kalchano. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/36G1O7S
Mistigram: relevant to Escher is the Swedish specialist in #impossibleshapes, #OscarReutersvärd. His countryman @joel.borjel rendered one of them in #ANSIart for this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/36D5GX0
Mistigram: @ZXguesser does a great job here reproducing in #teletext #MCEscher’s tessellating 1942 lithograph print “#Lizard”. This screen was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2O6E9XD
Mistigram: @kalchano plays with a famous #MCEscher self-portrait with this #Shift_JIS “Robot Hand With Reflective Sphere”, included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/36DJWKt
Mistigram: @pixard_neh has animated #surrealist #ReneMagritte’s 1953 painting #Golconda. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection.
Mistigram: speaking of #ReneMagritte, here’s the #surrealist painter’s 1964 painting the #SonOfMan done up #pixelart style by @minediru in their artpack debut in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 collection. https://ift.tt/38Puflg
Mistigram: @the_mythical_man has taken inspiration from the same fragmented #VenusDeMilo, taking her for a #surrealist spin by replacing her head, in a Magritte twist, with a small cup of strong coffee. This painting was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2O61FUt
Mistigram: @ty.p0 has used his trusty typewriter to describe the contours of the broken classical statue known as the #VenusDeMilo. This piece was included in this month’s fine art-themed MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RRxaCY
Mistigram: and here’s @picrotoxin’s #ANSIart Mistigris logo from the very bottom of that profoundly elongated elephant (only made possible through the networked Moebius session she hosted!) from our new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2O4u2CN
Mistigram: from the #Shift_JIS workshop of @kalchano, here’s his minimalist adaptation of the 1937 #surrealist #SalvadorDali painting the #BurningGiraffe. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/36sfjrn
Mistigram: here’s the strong start of an impossibly tall collaborative #ANSIart adaptation of #SalvadorDali’s epic 1948 #surrealist painting “the Elephants”. It was started by LDA and @hollydollydinkleberry and polished off by @joel.borjel and @picrotoxin. This joint appeared in the new #elephant-themed (just kidding!) MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2TXYrGx
Mistigram: @BlippyPixel comes in swinging with this #teletext adaptation of #surrealist master #SalvadorDali’s 1931 painting the #PersistenceOfMemory. This screen was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2t0CYBB
Mistigram: @Ordinary_pixel made a #pixelart adaptation of this iconic 1830 #EugeneDelacroix painting, #LibertyLeadingThePeople. You can go to the Louvre to see the genuine article, or you can enjoy this image right now on your phone. It was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/3aMqs9Q
Mistigram: Picasso famously abstracted #EugeneDelacroix’s 1834 painting “the #WomenOfAlgiers”, and less famously, @kalchano has also in his textmode #Shift_JIS style. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/3aLLxkW
Mistigram: @ty.p0 conducts a characteristic typewriter art investigation into Classical Greek architecture and sculpture in this study of #caryatid columns. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RrMJSM
Mistigram: @horsenburger made this #teletext adaptation of third-eye artwork by #ToddHollow. This screen was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/36tiQpp
Mistigram: @kalchano is keeping things underground with the most obscure selection of artists to make textmode homages to. This time around the recipient of his #Shift_JIS treatment is the esoteric Frenchman #HenriMichaud, a cut so deep we are proud to be the 20th use of his hashtag. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/38CGSja
Mistigram: not much is going on here on the surface - nice #pixelart #SuperMarioBros #mushroom, @8bitbaba! - but on second glance it reveals itself to be a clever twist on #shepardfairey’s #obeygiant street art campaign. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2TWwZcc
Mistigram: this #teletext adaptation of #MarkRothko’s 1954 “Untitled (Yellow and Blue)” was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RMWTMV
Mistigram: this month we were able to pick up a conversation suspended 20 years ago and draw out our old colleague God Among Lice (@generative_phil) from artscene retirement. He graced the new MIST0120 artpack collection with three artist portraits exported to the vintage #RIPscrip vector art format, so we can enjoy watching him draw #SolLeWitt with circles in real-time.
Mistigram: gallery art exhibition is not just the theme of this black light reactive painting by @the_mythical_man, “Woman With Painting”, but the actual subject. Go on, you tell her what you think of her new abstract. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/3aLsqHx
Mistigram: One of the services we render to members of the extended Mistigris community is representation on social media sites where they do not personally maintain a presence. Today we welcome the arrival of @Polyducks to Instagram with one of his contributions to the new MIST0120 artpack collection. Not a direct adaptation of any existent artwork, this abstracted #duck-man is the artist’s take on the street art style of #graffiti taggers… any similarity to Super Mario Sunshine’s #Cataquack creatures is surely coincidental. https://ift.tt/2NYzGpS
Mistigram: one final #PietMondrian adaptation - you already saw this one as #ANSIart but there was some speculation in the networked Moebius drawing session that it might look more interesting with the textural nuance that #ASCIIart allows… So @picrotoxin’s design was manipulated by @theoddfirecat toward that end and here’s where we wound up. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. Have a great weekend! https://ift.tt/2U1cMlk
Mistigram: it’s not Mondrian but #TheoVanDoesburg’s 1917 Composition VII: The Three Grace’s is a fellow traveller within the aesthetic of #deStijl. This #teletext adaptation was made by @carlos_teletextr and included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2Rn8wuQ
Mistigram: here’s one more livelier #PietMondrian #ANSIart adaptation by @picrotoxin, concluding the investigation of just how much there is to learn playing with these Lego blocks. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/30YrWtm
Mistigram: textmode art is hardly the sole domain of #PietMondrian adaptations - in a sense these were among some of the earliest popular #pixelart works, so naturally @dos_grog gave this style of abstract geometric composition a spin as well. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RRpFf8
Mistigram: I don’t believe that @picrotoxin was even that big a fan of the abstract paintings of #PietMondrian, they were probably just low-hanging fruit that were easy to bang out in the Moebius #ANSIart editor while warming up for bigger projects. This one was also included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2Rqe1c4
Mistigram: while it might seem optimised for ANSI art, there is nothing about the #PietMondrian style (or, ahem, stijl) that #teletext can’t also capably handle… at least, until someone adds an orange rectangle. This screen was drawn by Uglifruit and included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2uqeuSJ
Mistigram: one of the most popular artists covered in our new MIST0120 artpack collection is the famous abstract painter of straight lines and bold colours, #PietMondrian. This #ANSIart adaptation of Composition with Large Red Plane, Yellow, Black, Grey and Blue (which will turn 100 years old next year, some #modernart!) was one of several drawn by @picrotoxin. https://ift.tt/2TPqYOx
Mistigram: back to the Renaissance, @kalchano has streamlined #Titian’s #VenusOfUrbino down to its minimalist bones in his Japanese #Shift_JIS textmode idiom. This piece was included (albeit misidentified) in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2NV6TCq
Mistigram: one more taste of #Michelangelo, here’s a detail from his #CreationOfAdam on the ceiling of the #SistineChapel…as chicken pecked by @ty.p0 on his trusty Hermes typewriter. Making the feat still more impressive, would you believe he typed the whole thing lying on his back? No, neither would I. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RMYPFf
Mistigram: we don’t feature a lot of sculpture this month, so let’s throw in @192.168.10.13’s “The Deepest of Thoughts”, a glitchy take on #Rodin’s #TheThinker. This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2RJiTYX
Mistigram: despite belonging firmly to the pre-modern art Renaissance period, #Michelangelo’s #David also has an important role to play as spokesman of the #vaporwave Λｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ. This #pixelart portrait of the famous statue was drawn by Ordinary_Pixel and included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/37lvvMD
Mistigram: @ty.p0 has used his typewriter to make a portrait of #Michelangelo’s most famous work of sculpture, #David. (I suppose you might say that he used his typewriter to clear aside to the margins everything on the paper that was not David.) This piece was included in the new MIST0120 artpack collection. https://ift.tt/2Gj8cag
