I am taking my Looks Like series from my earlier photo blog and showing my photographs beside the paintings that inspired the association.

Looks Like Henri Rousseau
This is the flamingo enclosure at the San Diego zoo.
Henri Rousseau's images of plants came similarly from urban gardens.
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (May 21, 1844 – September 2, 1910), French.

Looks Like Picasso
This is a photograph of a store window in Florence.
This photograph is like a Picasso collage with words and objects mixed together in a haphazard way. The sign in the window says that you may commission someone to do trompe l'oeil painting in your house.
Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973), Spanish.
Looks Like Masaccio
Clearly in my photo I am trying to achieve the same effect of perspective as Masaccio in his painting, and it is specifically the painting of perspective that sets this painting apart. The guard in my photo may be regarded as a patron. Now if I could only get Rodin's The Thinker to point in the other direction.
Masaccio (1401 – 1428), born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, Italian.
