“Madonna 2002”

Would you buy one of Peter Howson’s god awful soon to be famous paintings of Madonna? Here is another one of her naked and squatting in a graveyard.
Oh yeah that’s the one I want.

Wonder what this guy was thinking?

“I believe Madonna would be both flattered and pleased that I had done this.” However he said he understood how the singer’s British husband, Guy Ritchie, might be “a little annoyed” by them.

“I think he’ll probably come and hit me,” he said. “But if he’s a man of wisdom and integrity he’ll be quite pleased with them, I imagine.” Howson said he had been in touch with the star for more than 15 years and said he was flattered when she bought some of his previous work.

The pair met in the US 13 years ago when Howson decided that he wanted to paint her over the coming years. The new portraits are designed to show Madonna as a powerful and charismatic person as well as touch on her religious upbringing, Howson said. The two most controversial larger works – called Death and Madonna and Madonna 2002 – are also meant to show different aspects of her life and public image, from her good and motherly side to her “dirty and evil one”, the artist said.

The 44-year-old also said he had had to keep altering his portraits of Madonna because the singer kept changing her image. “I’d been working on her pictures for 10 years and when I came out of the clinic I decided to just go for it. Even so, I knew she’d have changed again by the time they went on show,” he said. Howson said that Madonna’s staff had told him the singer was scared he would make her look ugly, to which he joked: “It was almost as if she was flirting with me in a kind of way.”

He believed the star was “fair game” because she was a public figure, he said, adding that he had no qualms about offending her. Madonna has posed fully clothed for Howson in the past – but never in the nude.

“These two paintings are a tribute to Madonna, and it was not my intention to criticise or make fun of her. I asked my agent, Matthew Flowers, to send Madonna photographs of these two paintings a few weeks ago so that she could see them before they appeared in the press, and before the exhibitions started. I do NOT know Madonna’s reaction because they appear to have been withheld from her.”[read more]

If you really want to get all the he said/she said…visit Madonnarama.

If he painted me looking like that I would be mad too. :)~~

But this might be worse ———>
