    /// Manet’s painting, “Luncheon on the Grass,”

    was a shock to the French middle class.

    Not the the bare girl they eyed;

    what her bareness implied.

    Classic nudes are OK— this was crass.

    John: Why are we still wearing clothes? Well, who would want to see us naked?

    /// What would cause these two ladies to strip

    and then casually go take a dip?

    An apt diagnosis—

    they are under hypnosis,

    and believe they’re alone on this trip.

    Luncheon Pigeon on the Grass a Lass

    I dropped a smidgen of my pigeon on the grass alas

    I feel the smidgens of that pigeon on my a$$ alas

    If they were not pigeon smidgens what were they.

    Pigeon bits on my t!ts alas onto the grass

    A mass alas so crass on my a$$ sitting on the grass a lass.

    And across the grass my sister Cass has caught a bass

    Alas for bass and smidgen pigeon and this fine grass …

    .

    The original deep fake image injection into a picture that would long inspire the creators of Photoshop.

    Looks like the picnic in Paul McCartney’s dream in ‘Give My Regards to Broad Street’… except everyone’s dressed in the movie

    Haha! This a great one! Classic!

    What a strange painting though; there must be some context that we aren’t aware of.

    This painting always cracked me up. The man sitting opposite the naked woman is her brother, the man next to her is her fiance. So her nudity is fully in the face of her brother, which seems a little uncomfortable to me. Also, she sits fully naked on the blanket while the men swelter in their woolen suits.

    Two artists met up to discuss/

    How a woman’s constructed, and thus /

    when their model displayed/

    how a woman is made/

    They gave her a grade of A plus !

    See what happens when you spill Grey Poupon on your clothes? Now you have to wash them.

    Luncheon on the Grass

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:1863 oil on canvas paintings in France" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string Grass, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (perhaps best viewed using either the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this huge painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3224 (November 20, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment and replies pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 19 works by him have been used here (21 times total, including 2 repeats), the November April 21, 2022, strip being the prior (a repeat).
