1. Wow....that transposition raised Keanu Reeves' IQ by at least 50 points!

(found at the link)

(I know...that was pretty nasty...)

[AllenVanAllen]

2. "Your mouth words make Keanu sad..."

30. Actually, he's a pretty smart guy. He's just too good looking for his own good, LOL.

[Maynar]

32. Curse my pretty face!

CURSE IT!

[catbyte]

Welcome to DU!

4. Great ... just wish they had included Title/Painter below each one

[AllenVanAllen]

6. I hear ya.

What I do that is really helpful when trying to find credit for art and artists is opening a separate window with Google Image search open and 'drag and drop' the art image right into the search and it usually brings back great results if there are any to be found.

13. If you're using Chrome browser, and you have installed ...

Installed the Image Chrome extension [FREE], you can just right-click the picture and then select "Search Google with this Image"

You always share such wonderful art and art history! Your knowledge is so enriching!

[CTyankee]

25. What a nice thing to say, thank you!

7. Groovy

Thanks for posting this, they are pretty cool. I thought I would know more of the paintings to begin with. I like the classic actor ones like DeNiro and Pacino.

Peace

8. Mariah Carey as a nun...

I dont want to say what that does for me.

[tandot]

9. they wasted paint on Ann Coulter???

I like most of the other ones but that one blows my mind

[CTyankee]

12. It is Sargent...I hate to say it but it's pretty damn close in resemblance

[tandot]

15. No ... this one is Ann Coulter :

It says so in the link and on top of the image.

[CTyankee]

17. Yes, the one you are displaying is Coulter. I posted the Sargent from which is re-imagined...

[tandot]

18. I misunderstood ... sorry

I like the original much, much better. Still, someone wasted precious time and resources to put Coulter's ugly mug on it.

[CTyankee]

20. I added some more to my list! See below...

But dang, I have to correct my Kate Perry guess...I checked the Boucher I was thinking of and it wasn't the one!

I am still pulling my hair out...

[CTyankee]

22. Oooohh, Johnny Depp.

I LOVE that one.

[CTyankee]

26. oops. now that I think about it Sean Connery is supposed to be Holbein...what was I thinking?

Oh, duh...

[Coyotl]

28. Recognized several.

It says a lot about culture to see who someone thinks celebrities are. Are we celebrating the wrong people? Where is Thomas Jefferson, Abe Lincoln, Castro?

[catbyte]

29. Ann Coulter, Yeesh!
