[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 415324, member: 2844"]It reminds me of the 1950s-60s paintings of street children by Bruno Amadio aka Bragolin. Bragolin had been kicked out of the Art Academy, and became a fascist propaganda painter. After WWII he couldn't find a job. According to one version of the story he became one of the many painters on San Marco square in Venice, where he sold paintings of local children, many with a tear in their eye. According to another version he moved to fascist Spain, where he painted children from a local orphanage. In both stories tourists loved the paintings, which found their way all over the world.
