The Paul Juraszek Monolith (by Marcus Wills, 2006)

The Paul Juraszek Monolith (by Marcus Wills, 2006)
I added this to my photostream by courtsey (date: 2010-02-10) of Marcus Wills.

This painting won the Australian Archibald Prize in 2006. To me it is an excellent example for "art about art", which is an art in its own right. This painting not only is about Marcus Gheeraert's probably most famous etching, it also is about the sculptures of Paul Juraszek (Melbourne). Something like this should be treated like the pictorial equivalent to a good variation of a musical composition (e.g. like Koechlin's variations on BACH).
