One painting is of two sibling monkeys with white headbows and large red earrings. One subject is wearing a red dress with a white collar and the other has the same sort of "below the bust" white bandeau smock and white collar. It is a riot to hear the reactions of those people brave enough to question my taste in art! The other painting is of a mama monkey holding a baby bottle and baby. She has a beautiful head dress of flowers and is wearing a vibrant blue dress. Interestingly, there is a semi-castle/turrets in the background. There is a signature on this piece "M. Barten". I bought them because of the eyes and their expressions, not to mention the beautiful colors that initially drew me to them.

The anthropomorphised apes in human apparel paintings. Theses are both blatant knock-offs of D.R.W.'s work. I got mine because he looks like George Bush. The fact that he's wearing a crown makes it even better. Just a clueless ape with a crown balanced on its head. Even if it isn't the intent, the comparison is obvious to me. I thought it was a female ape (monkey) at first too, but the gallery proprietor assured me that it is in fact a male ape. He revealed that it had been admired by many, but none were brave enough to pony up the 300-something dollars to bring it home. (The frame is worth 95% of the retail price). None, that is, until i came along.... The boobs are especially great, because they always get a rise out of the women who see it. Men don't seem to care one bit. Women take them quite personally, and have strong reactions to them. I love art that does that people.

Wilson's original paintings can fetch upwards of $30 - $50,000, so it's no surprise that people have been creating these cheap knock-offs for some time.
