"The Lovers"
     This is a reproduction of Rene Magritte's "Les amants" changed from Local Color to Local Value. What that means is the original is in color and I changed it to black and white. Magritte is one of my personal favorite artists... and "The Lovers" is one of my top 5 favorite paintings. Click  here to visit a site that has over 300 paintings and works by Magritte. Most of the art titles are in French, but they are still exquisite pieces of work. :) I have included the original piece as well... just for comparison. I know it's not exact, but hey... I am not perfect.
     In case you are wondering, I am also a big fan of Marcel Duchamp... and a little Picasso. Dali, Haring, Lichtenstein, etc. :)
     Again, I apologize for the hideous  scan of mine...
