Greetings Sarge!  @Sergeant Rock

I saw that you liked the Smetana Moldau LP from yesteryear!

I am betting that maybe you had a copy also (?).


I tried to send you a message, but your "Inbox" is full!

Jedenfalls hoffe ich sehr, dass Dir und deiner Familie alles am besten geht!

Beste Wuensche!

Quote from: Brian on October 04, 2024, 05:53:29 AMThat means it was made using AI! Looking closely at the fake "painting," the clues are very subtle. The reflections in the water do not always perfectly match the landscape above (certain trees are reflected at odd angles, and the mountains are different), and the ruined castle or abbey is an oddly shaped building.
Yes, look at the castle and see where the sunlight is hitting it; the reflection in the water is off.

Oh, I was absolutely certain about that. "Whatever that might mean" referred to graphic neural networks. Heck, doesn't each and every graphic artist uses his neural networks?  ;D

Judging by the colors of the ribbons, she looks rather Hungarian than Czech...  ;D

Hey, Cato. No, I don't have this LP. Wish I Did!

It doesn't look to me to be traditional attire at all (neither Hungarian nor Czech).  I'm not an expert though.  🤷  Thinking in terms of headdress, skirt style, colors, etc.

I am sure it looked "Central European/Slavic" enough to the guys in The Record-Jacket Design Department!  ;D

Well, most such guys would know that Paderewski was President of Poland, or that Budapest is the capital city of Romania... and that Prague is West of Vienna would come as a big surprise to most of them...

I am not well-versed in folk costumes, but it seems to me that the outfit is similar to those associated with Transcarpathia, where influences from Slovakia, Hungary, and Ukraine are mixed. For comparison:

Sorry, Peter, couldn't resist. Mucha and Lempicka are two artists whose work I do not like at all. But de gustibus non est disputandum!  :)

Good day to you...



I guess then you don't like Federico Beltran-Masses either? I like his works (and Lempicka.)
Just in case and for those who are interested, a recent CNN article about Lempicka is below.

One of those I like the cover more then the music.
