    Found "Pear Mandolin" in a blog about art from carved vegetables and fruit. I could not determine who created it. This is a real pear.

    Missed this on my search, so posted in a different spot. Here's an 'in memoriam' for artist Ernest Henry Grauel of Westport, Conn., who died June 30, 2010, at age 82. He was the dad of a friend of mine.

    He painted this in either the 1950s or 1960s

    Watching CBS Sunday Morning today, there was a piece about recently deceased painter Lucian Freud, known for his grotesque (IMO) paintings of naked people. They showed several paintings, and I noticed one of them included a mandolin (and everyone was clothed). Turns out it is a portrait of a few important women in the artist's life, and it is his daughter Bella holding the mandolin. I don't know whether she actually plays the instrument, but it is intriguing to think that a great-granddaughter of the father of modern psychiatry is a mandolinist.

    These are the new logos of a band a friend of mine is in in CT. Yes, someone in the band plays mandolin, but I didn't know it was such a prominent part of the band's identity. And yes, they are a jam band.

    I know this charming Picasso has been posted before, but I just found it while searching for something else (happens so often), and it's been nearly six years, and I wanted to point out something. Doesn't the composition suggest a human head, with the bodies of the mandolin and guitar the eyes, the neck of the mandolin and the edge of the table the ears, and whatever that is at the bottom teeth?

    Found this at the rummage/tag sale room at the Greenfield Hills Dogwood Festival, one of six or seven prints of characters from plays. Enjoy!

    Pulcinella, indeed. The character mutated into "Punch" in English, as in "Punch and Judy". For some reason, Pulcinella is often depicted with a mandolin: here are another three examples. One of them is titled "Pulcinella in Hades", and is a bit disturbing.

    Commedia dell'Arte artwork is very iconic -- I used quite a few depictions of the stock characters and their attributes/costumes to illustrate the wonderful Commedia dell'Arte tune "Ricciulina" (a mandolin duet):

    This showed up on my Pinterest page. Hope it's big enough to see. It's called "The Mandolin" by Alex Gross.

    How about some Dutch realistic art by Henk Helmantel ("Road to Bhutan")? Mind you, it's not a photography. I have a large version in our living room.
