*ANOTHER* Ward Churchill Work of Art Revealed!
*** EXCLUSIVE: MUST CREDIT MYOPIC ZEAL! ***
I have uncovered another work of art. I purchased this from Professor Churchill’s private collection in 1993 for $750. After reading about the “borrowed art idea” scandal, I decided to do a scan of other pieces of art to ensure that the one he sold me was truly an original work. Here is the one I purchased:
But, as original as this might appear, Myopic Zeal has learned that this too is a very close copy of someone else’s original. There are subtle differences, the background scenery is changed, the image is flipped horizontally, the face is slightly masked, but other than that, it appears that there may be some of the original that made it into this painting by Mr. Churchill.
Check out the original and see what you think. The site I found this on is in French, and I don’t read French, so I have no idea if this is a famous work of art or not. Presumably he picked something obscure to copy.
UPDATE: Check out this post for more details, and an observation we have made that calls into question the validity of this whole “art fraud” story.
UPDATE 2: More great ‘originals’ at Etherhouse.
UPDATE 3 (3/2/2005): Could we see a Howard Dean / Ward Churchill ticket in 2008?
UPDATE 4 (3/7): Hmmm…

Are you being facetious about the “obscure” portrait of The Mona Lisa?
MZ Edit: I hope so. :-)
