Couch Gag Information
|
The Simpsons are at an art exhibition. They are watching paintings of themselves with different art techniques and parodies, while Pictures at an Exhibition: The Bogatyr Gates is heard in the background:
- Maggie is illustrated using the Ben Day process, widely used in comic books of the 1950s through the 1970s.
- Lisa's painting has the style of Escher's tessellations. Graphic artist M. C. Escher was a known user of mathematically inspired art.
- Bart is based in Jackson Polloc's drip painting, a form of abstract art in which paint is dripped or poured on to the canvas.
- Marge's painting is a parody of Femme aux Bras Croisés, made by Picasso during his "Blue Period". Picasso's signature can also be seen.
- Homer's painting is a parody of Bacchus by Peter Paul Rubens.
Later, the Simpsons get tired and change the paintings to their favorite TV programs using a remote control.
