That is a very famous painting. Very famous. May I ask if you live outside of the USA? I am interested in how you could not have seen the original version of that.

[(Anonymous)]

Some people aren't that into art.

[(Anonymous)]

Even so, it's a pretty famous painting and has worked its way into US pop culture in the same way that, for example, American Gothic has. There are countless parodies and homages to it in various movies and TV shows, so it's just kind of unusual for someone's first exposure to it to be via Cowboy Bebop fanart.

[(Anonymous)]

At the bottom right of the image it says "alteration by ek", wouldn't that be a clue?

And I agree with anon that even if you aren't that into art seeing that image first as cowboy bebop fanart is rather unusual. Not judging anyone, it just is a little strange.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

seriously, how in the hell does someone not know "Nighthawks"

there's art and then there's just plain culture

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not American.

Not everyone here is from the Americas or Europe ffs.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

i'm american and i've never seen it. and i *like* art even. though i don't like culture, so go figure.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

da

Sorry, OP, but you can add another anon to this list -- until reading the sub-thread I didn't even realize your background pic was a painting!

Learn a new thing every day.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe because people are paying more attention to their own art and culture than yours? You're not the center of universe. I know, it's hard, but you'll learn to deal.

Re: OP

well whoops I guess I'm "uncultured"

[(Anonymous)]

I went to school at the Art Institute of Chicago. Practically lived in that museum for years. It's amazing how many people walked right past the painting without even acknowledging its existence. Not because of bad placement, but because that museum is MASSIVE and has so much famous work. I can totally understand not seeing the original.

Unless you're talking about seeing a picture of the original. That's... I can almost understand because some people aren't into art, but so many things reference it!

[(Anonymous)]

"So many things" ..yes, maybe in American culture. Elsewhere? No. I only knew what it was because I saw a BBCTV programme about art a month ago which featured it.

[(Anonymous)]

You must have missed all the Doctor Who and Sherlock secrets we've been having.

This comm is hardly 90% American and Japanese. Maybe it was before but it is not like that now.
