Renato Casaro's "INVITATION"
erik1925:
I stopped in the little 2nd hand store at lunch time, and spotted this framed piece up on the wall. I only decided to snag it, when I saw it was done by Renato Casaro.
It's called "INVITATION," with Casaro re-creating the Da Vinci's fresco of "The Last Supper" with famous actors as the apostles and MM in place of Jesus.
The size is 24.75 x 37 inches, (61x93 cm), printed on a linen textured paper. Casaro actually did 2 versions of this. The more common version has Groucho Marx and Robert Mitchum (replaced on this version by John Wayne and the Frankenstein Monster).
His artistry shines thru here with incredible detail, so I did a full shot along with 3 group closeups. Ive written to Casaro to get more info on this version, as Ive not been able to find anything substantial online. But did a little more digging and this first edition was published in 1992 (part of the number "9" is hidden under the frame edge).
