Looks like an auditioning for another Tekken game to me.

I glanced over and recognized a hand full.

Now I shall list them in order as they are retracted from my memory.

1.) Bruce Lee
2.) Abraham Lincoln
3.) Einstein
4.) Ghandi
5.) And that annoying little Shirley girl who sang 'I love ya Tomorrow'

I glanced it over and recognized more than I didn't, but if you think I'm going to sit here and look at every face you're going to have to pay me for my time.

Actually I think I have a large majority of them...but if #32 is supposed to be ("TCB") - that is a pretty bad rendition...:p

I have seen a few like this by an artist named Breitenbach, similar to this type of thing - they keep people drawn to them for long stretches by the clever clues - very engaging art...

BTW:"Annie" sang about tomorrow - Shirley was way before that torture tune...

(and if Dubya would just turn around...he mighta found "that guy")

OMG! I don't know anyone of them.. I am ashamed of myself...

I recognize most, but who are all the hooded figures marching in the background -- and why the pyramids in the background -- why choose that setting?

Don't look now but I think our Dennis Gaskill is a little more famous than we realized -------- #27

Ive no idea but there must be thousands in there, I mean all of them are famous no? I like Mike Tyson.

Where's Charlie Sheen?

97 is Shirley Temple, not Annie.
8 is Bruce Lee.
45 is so obvious I am not even going to name that swine because I am Jewish.
74 looks like Charlie Chaplin.
81 is Queen Elizabeth 2nd.
12 looks like Napoleon.

I could keep going but why?
There are a lot that I could guess but I don't feel like wasting that much time.

Number 26 is Pelé

If #68 is who I think it is...looks like "holly" did not "golightly" on the makeup - :rolleyes:


@ragz:
As for Charlie Sheen - That's him as usual, tossing out 100's, getting "toulouse" at the bar...

I know some of them. To OP, where did you find the image?

I wonder what Li Bai (No. 83) makes of the typewriter on the table in front of him, a technology that wasn't even conceived for more than a thousand years after he died.

Maybe the shock of encountering such futuristic technology is the reason he's reeling back in his chair.

Poor fella.

I kinda feel sorry for him now.

Hope he recovered.

Tommy - He's probably very enthralled with the typewriter - but I think the swoon my be due more to the pipes in front of him on the table. Looks like he just had a good one hit over.........

is 9 churchill, and 30 thatcher?

The painting is called "Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante"
Painting by Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi, Zhang An - 2006

The painters themselves in the top R corner of the picture. Here is a key to all the figures

"Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante"

To paraphrase Yogi Berra..."If some of these people weren't Famous...you wouldn't know who they are!

Wow where did you get this one

The painting is supposed to be an imaginary meeting in the afterlife.

There is meaning in how each person is dressed, what they are doing, and who they are next to.

only a few here - that i can put a finger on

OMG Is that me in the middle?

#22 looks a lot like Wm Shatner
#28 Yule Brenner
#5 Rob Schneider moments away from yelling "You Can Do It!"
#38 Richard Dreyfuss
#55 Hank Hill's Dad,Cotton Hill
#32 Andy Kaufman impersonating Elvis
#14 the guy from the Dos Equis XX beer commercial Jonathan Goldsmith, The world's most interesting man in the world
#49 Mel Gibson
I know many others,but didn't count them all nor care to play any more.

I know only two peoples 74 and 5 number.

may be half of them i know, the rest are blank to me
i should know my history

i remember that there was something like this with hollywood icons depicted in the painting, i cant seem to find it

I seriously dont recognize the camel.. I wonder what they did to be famous :-p

[DELETED]

Two wrongs don't make a Wright (either orville or wilber) and two fives don't make a Pele.

why are there two fives? I just wonder.

OH MY GOSH! - Look at number 102!

only 5 lol, einstein, pele, gandhi, muhammad ali, bruce lee, and a few others i cant tell if its really them

Bruce Lee
Einstein
Ghandi

about others i am not able to recognize.

Just looking at about 20 and kind of glancing at the rest, I'd say that I recognize about half or more. It's extremely sad if you only know about ten to twenty or less. I bet that if you were to show this to a 20 year old, they'd know about ten. Possibly more, but the education system and the want to learn about older cultures, even within America, are severely lacking these days.

I believe it when they say that my generation, gen X, was the last to actually care and work hard and know things, including phrases, from decades gone by. I know everyone says that about the preceding generations, but things like EMO and the things referred to from Urban Dictionary make me think otherwise. Here is an excerpt about generation Y, born after 1985 or so, "it’s called the “me” generation and known by its egos, superficiality, sensuality, materialism, entitlement, instant gratification, selfishness, poor work ethic, and a general lack of responsibility. Generation Y has been bombarded by violence, sex and too much information—mostly bad—being shoved down their throats by the media and our culture. As a result, Generation Y is the generation of school shootings; you can’t even go to school anymore without fear of being shot. This generation knows more about the Simpsons than they do about our founding fathers. Generation Y also looks to miscreants like Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton as role models rather than Martin Luther King. It pays more attention to what’s going on in Hollywood than what’s going in the world around them." It can also be said by some that they haven't contributed anything to culture other than remake the cultures of the past generation.

I recognized 39 of them

I know 103 people in this one, so easy!

bruce lee and mike tyson..i remember bruce lee and i watch his movie he is really great a fighter of all time..sadly he died earlier..
