Part of the enjoyment is the laugh track and hearing the audience lose it whenever another silly walker came on screen!   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original painting was from the early 1900’s, way before Monty Python’s time… but the placement of the silly walker in such a serious crowd of people does capture that Monty Python flavour of introducing something silly to shake things up a bit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA big part of why I think they were so successful, is because they said and did all the things you shouldn’t do if you were a good “British” citizen. The dead-pan delivery of their jokes made it even funnier. With this alteration, I wanted to capture that playful juxtaposition of silly with serious, in an homage to “The Ministry of Silly Walks.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original lithograph print was titled “Moulin Rouge” by French artist Antoine Blanchard. (I do hope Monty Python will forgive me for using a French painting and not a British one!)  I found it at a thrift store… it had been removed from its frame because someone obviously liked the frame more than the art! I had another vintage frame on hand without art in it which suited it perfectly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRAME DETAILS : Reclaimed wood frame, details on request.
