Only a golden would just sit there and take it. Buddy would be trying to play with it. .

I thought maybe it was an Ocampo, though its much simpler than most of his work. But I couldn’t find it.

Nighthawks has also posted this kind of illusionary work from a Russian artist whose name I used to know, but now escapes me. Once again, though, this looks too simple.

I used Google lens to try to find the artist, but all I found was a fellow named Nevit Dilmen, on Wikipedia Commons, who claimed it as his own….

But I can find no info on him as an artist.

All searches for that name lead to Wikipedia, where he seems to claim a lot of art that I don’t believe is his or even all comes from the same person.

How do people get away with that??

Not unlike the works of Octavio Ocampo.

Having seen this picture, I don’t want to ever go to that city, and get on the tram or trolley, knowing that at some point it might be up there on that track.

Sorry, nighthawks, the artist is actually     JOOP POLDER     and he titled this “Beneath the Subway.”

LaDuke’s style could very well be influenced by him as Polder was born in 1939, and LaDuke in 1961.

All the lines are straight.

My eyes didn’t want to believe it, even when I laid an envelope down against one of them to prove it.

Note that there’s a 9×9 block of the small squares in the middle, within which the shading inside each little blue square is reversed, and the interstitial Xs switch their pattern to the opposite of those outside it.

I think that provides the whole effect, reversing our perception of convex and concave little squares, and creating something impossible to understand.

Our confused brains try to superimpose some kind of order, which, unfortunately, is incorrect.

My guess…
Second row up from the bottom, third in from the right, the one with blue fins all around.

I got him too…. after my first try, when I mistakenly matched them all up.😁

That’s why I didn’t post an actual solution last night.

I love that Sam Basset, after being woken by the porter at 3 am, has a cigarette lit and partially smoked before opening the door.

Love that Sam wears cool pajamas on the train…. But also sleeps in his fedora.

Or course, lighting that cig before answering the door was also cool, in those days.

He knows he’s cool. Modesty does not prevent him from answering to “the famous detective.”

Accident, huh?
I’ll just bet.

Lucky thing Sam Basset was on the train.
