Art Restoration, Spanish Style November 12, 2020
Posted by geoff in News.trackback
Spain seems to have it in for art, with amateur restorers creating laugh-out-loud abominations.
You all remember the butchery inflicted upon Ecce Homo back in 2012:
This was followed by 2 attempts to restore a painting of the Virgin Mary in June of this year:
The latest involved a statue in Palencia:
But all of these works are so derivative, considering that Mr. Bean first forged the creative pathway in this field some 23 years ago:
Innocent Bystanders 
Old Art becomes New Art
Who’s to say what’s art anyway?
haha I’m pretty sure that statue is the reincarnation of Mr. Bill
People need to vet these restorers better.
And both pieces are way more famous than they otherwise would have been, so i guess that’s something to consider.
