1964 The Beefeater

"The image depicts a stylized illustration of the iconic painting 'The Beefeater' by Thomas Hood.
It portrays a group of men standing in front of trees, with one man prominently in the foreground facing forward and another man slightly behind him turned towards the viewer.
The illustration is done in a loose, sketchy style, emphasizing the outline and forms over detail.
The colors used are mainly shades of blue, green, and black, contributing to a moody atmosphere.
This piece is part of a series that transforms famous artworks into comic book-like representations."

The Magpie (1868-1869) by Claude Monet
This painting of a place in the countryside, executed on the spot, uses very unusual pale, luminous colors. Sun and shade construct the painting and translate the impalpable part-solid part-liquid matter. The Impressionist landscape was born, 5 years before the first official exhibition when the movement was given its name.
