Art About Art - Time Travel 2

This is the second of 3 posts in a series called Art About Art - Time Travel.

As you can see from my other posts, my artworks often make obvious or more subtle references to the art of other artists (a kind of ArtAboutArt-ism). In revisiting favourite old master paintings, for example, I have on occasion introduced new pictorial elements that, in effect, change the meaning/message of the original work and in so doing a viewer might have a fresh engagement with the original.

At some point in mid 2015 I had the idea of revisiting and reworking some of my favourite paintings by introducing a Time Traveler (visitor) into each work.

In this Time Travel 2 post you can see below examples of my work in which (inspired by Jim Dine's 'Pinocchio' series) I introduced the puppet 'Andy Pandy' (a 1950s/60s TV 'Watch with Mother' character) as the very surprised Time Traveler to a series of famous paintings.
