Homage to Mona Lisa Malevich Warhol Dali Duchamp Magritte (2021) Malerei von Mayya Batulina

The painting is made by me and is a unique author's idea.

Mona Lisa.. perhaps the most recognizable painting of humanity. Once created by a skilled artist, it has become the standard of art and, at the same time, the object of homage and appropriation in the work of a huge number of artists. It is difficult to count all the existing variations of the Mona Lisa: artists and lovers of each stage of human development subjected the face of Mona to changes, implantations in alien circumstances, and sometimes outright mockery, ridicule. But, despite this, the Mona Lisa remains a WOMAN... with your sensitive inner world.
Every time I feel pain for the next metamorphosis and consumption of her image. Therefore, this picture wants to show the fragility of Mona, her femininity and, as a result, to reward this woman for her perseverance and patience.
The whole picture is drawn with a brush, except for one detail-the neck decoration. This necklace is my adoration for this woman and a great masterpiece.

About the paintings surrounding the Mona Lisa:

Kazimir Malevich, "Composition with Mona Lisa", 1914
Malevich became the first artist of the XX century who used the image of the Mona Lisa in his work and crossed it out twice. In the truest sense of the word, two red crosses. In his collage, a reproduction of da Vinci acts as a symbol of old art.

Marcel Duchamp, L. H. O. O. Q., 1919
With his ”masterpiece" of art, the Dadaist artist Marcel Duchamp challenged society. He drew a mustache and a goatee on the reproduction with a pencil in an overtly schoolboy style. He claimed that the Mona Lisa had become a man. He called the painting L. H. O. O. Q.-if you read the title quickly, it sounds in French like "elle a chaud au cul" – " I have a hot ass”... and announced that his work is much better and more modern then original one! "The shaved Gioconda", - so  Marcel Duchamp usually called the classic image of the Mona Lisa. This disrespectful attitude to the most famous of the cult paintings actually expressed the contempt of the Dadaists in general for the art of the past. And in 2010, Duchamp's "Mona Lisa" with a painted mustache and beard was recognized as an icon of pop art and sold at the Christie's auction in New York for almost half a million dollars, five times more expensive than the expectations of the auction organizers.

Fernand Leger, "Mona Lisa with the Keys", 1930
The artist worked on complex compositions and could not find what to put together a bunch of keys. On the way to the store for a can of sardines (it can also be found in the picture), he saw a postcard with the image of the Mona Lisa in the kiosk. You can understand the idea as you want: whether it is the keys to art, or from modern life.

Salvador Dali, "Self-portrait as the Mona Lisa", 1954
Dali parodies Marcel Duchamp's L. H. O. O. Q. in this photo montage. Quite a straightforward picture. The face of Salvador. Men's hands. Coins. The artist's imagination allows him to merge with the world's masterpiece, destroying the gap between himself and the great.

Fernando Botero, "Mona Lisa", 1963
This Colombian artist is famous for his"fat figures". The inflated figure of Gioconda seems to symbolize the self-importance of the model. an image that is so far removed from that delicate and mysterious "Mona Lisa" from the Louvre that it almost reads like a parody.

Rene Magritte, "La Gioconda", 1960
Magritte questions the significance that we are accustomed to ascribe to familiar objects and phenomena, in particular-the legendary painting of Leonardo DaVinci.

Andy Warhol, "The Colored Mona Lisa", 1963
And the genius of pop art decided to keep up, and "propagated" the Mona Lisa under the motto "Better thirty than one!". Andy Warhol aimed precisely at the very status of the famous painting and with great pleasure and actively exploited the image of the Mona Lisa. His "comprehension" of Leonardo was sold at auction for $ 3.6 million, twice the lower limit of expectations.
