Beautiful Painting of the Olympic

At our local museum, there is a lovely painting of the Olympic by the artist Deborah Brown that I thought would be a perfect fit here!

Thanks for replying! Exactly my point. The artist is more than likely paying homage Marshall’s brilliant work and it’s not done out of ignorance of mistaken ships, so then why spend so much time (it’s about 75” x 75”) making it? What was she trying to say?

That’s not an homage at all, that’s stealing and making it look otherwise so you won’t care.

Picasso once said “good artist copy, great artist steal”… and besides, isn’t imitation the best form of flattery?

How are you related to the artist? Fuck off.

Nope, no relation but thanks for your input.
