Surreal Poster
Where can I find a specific surreal painting turned into a poster?

Does anyone know the name of this painting or who might have painted it? It's a surreal piece of art. It has many different elements, including a fireplace with photos burning in it, a giant head with a tree growing out of it, a ship in the water flowing into a house, and a book with pages turning. There's also a large mirror in the house and I think there's a photo propped on the mirror of the ship outside. It's been bugging me for years and I'd like to find it again. It looks very much like a Salvador Dali painting, but it isn't. I've already checked many poster sites looking for it, but I can't find it. Help!

Many thanks. )
Edit: siouxsie, thank you so much! It's exactly the one I was looking for! )

There's a poster of it here http://www.oneposter.com/products/Entre-Les-Trous-de-La-Memoire_3881.html but you could probably find others through google or on ebay now that you know the name of the painting.

Collecting Antiques - The Peoples Art Part 2

In the first part of this series of articles talking about the growth in the marketability of the brand image of antique and that the apparent end of the brand can lead to rapid growth in the marketability of the antique value of the package itself

Posters at the forefront of this market is, and quote is ironic that when subsequently re-experience that these names are taking part in such commercial enterprise seems to be quite entertaining to see.

The genre of the bill actually was born and expected to be at the end of 1880, when Pears Soap was the facial image "Bubbles" by Sir John Everett Millais, a portrait and a grandson and a bar of soap the image. This act caused chaos in the commercial art circles of the day, but it is the way to the future of art in all forms posters and advertising in particular.

Since the dawn of advertising, have a variety of artists in the production of all types of commercial active substances. The artist, John Hassall, perhaps (in these circles) is best recognized as powerful images Colman's Mustard, Tobacco and winch used for Lux soap. In 1919, the artist, Will Owen be in order to create the legendary Bisto Gravy Salt in Kids Company. Dear artists, their time has always been instructed to seek examples of their work in the trade, a practice which has always been that it is not looks like cheap Publics offer a preference for this type of work that has recognized the practice, what it is, and that the living embodiment of his art.

This is actually the support and patronage of the main institutions the day is the authentic form acceptable to support the arts. Institutions such as the London Underground also paved the way in which this order Edward McKnight Kauffer to the various campaigns and the Shell Oil Company, the work commissioned by many leading British contemporary artist in a variety of topics From the surreal images of the cartoon style of Hans Shleger John Reynolds.

A collection point, it was also recalled that the big names to attract big name prices, the value of these antiques and collectibles are also involved.

The other, and often neglected aspect concerns the kind of art reflects the fact that the pack is the most important events. Wars are often important inspiration source of commercial art and patriotic branding. Starting with the presentation of a number of British general in the Boer War heroes, and the image used in the packaging of the day, and what to see how women were presented over the years was an interesting topic.

What Collectible products in the future? Maybe now we'll see something else of any substance that we are ready to be deported in the bucket and begin to admit that any future investments?

Who knows?

Everyone has heard the saying, "The more things change...the more they stay the same". Do you believe that?

I had a very surreal experience recently. As I've mentioned in previous articles, I grew up in a relatively small city in Idaho. I was a teenager in the '80's (just dated myself). The town I lived in was about as country as they come. At the time (maybe still) the city I lived in was infested with mullets. Yes...infested is the correct word choice. A mullet is not a small furry animal, though on some people it looks like one. It is not a rodent, an insect, or a bird. A mullet, for those of you who don't know, is a hairstyle...operationally defined by some as "business in the front and party in the back"...also known as a...short-long, a mud flap, a yes-no, a 10/90, a Camaro Cut, etc.

In my town, almost everyone had a mullet. You can imagine a whole town filled with mullet wearers. The cowboys wore mullets, the athletes wore mullets, the nerds, the bandsters, the stoners, the teachers, the parents...even the girls wore mullets (called a gullet - a "girl mullet"). I'm proud to say I've never had a mullet.

But, my teenage son has had a mullet (this is not a picture of him smoking a cigarette). My teenage son recently cut his shag haircut into a mullet. I couldn't believe it...talk about a flashback. Don't get me wrong...it's a new...evolved...2010...hip...kind of mullet...but it's still a mullet. I just don't know what to think about it. I didn't like mullets the first time around...don't like them the second time either.

This recent experience has started me thinking. Do market research methods and approaches come in and out of "fashion" like other trends? I believe that they do. Here are a couple of examples:

• Online market research related access panels have had a hey-day for the past several years. New online companies were being created. Online companies were being bought and sold based on their capabilities (aka panel size)...even their projected capabilities. However, recently the growth that online research has experienced has slowed down significantly. Quality concerns have been identified relating to access panel representation, sampling methods, respondent accuracy, overlap between panels, etc. This area of our industry is saturated with providers operating in the mullet-wearing gladiator pit-of-doom to fight it out. Are access panels past their prime or will they see growth in the future? The jury's still out.
• Much of the growth seen in the online survey arena came at the expense of telephone research. Telephone survey research has started to see some stabilization in the decline it was experiencing (prior to our current economic shake-up). It will be interesting to see how the industry and market researchers approach this methodology as the economy rebounds. Will it return to fashion in some altered form or is it like your old pair of jeans, you'll keep them around forever?
• Qualitative research in general has "made way" for online focus groups, MROC's (market research online communities), online product testing & taste tests. Will these methods loop back around to "traditional" focus groups, test kitchens, and ethnographic research? I recently saw an article giving advice on when focus group methods should be used vs. using a series of in-depth interviews (IDI's). Within research types there are "in-vogue" fashions.
• In-person interviewing may be the most relevant example of "fashion changes" in research. A number of years ago...a mall DIDN'T EXIST that didn't have a face-to-face research company located in it. Over the past ten years, in-person, especially mall research underwent a significant reduction in the number of facilities available. The number has stabilized and the method seems to be seeing a resurgence in popularity. It has also begun to evolve. I'm familiar with Quicktest, a research organization that represents a significant number of the mall research facilities in the US. They have created a very unique concept, Quickview, which is a kiosk based mall research facility. The concept places them in high traffic areas in malls, and takes up much less space but still provides all of the benefits of face-to-face research.

I don't believe that methods Come Back in "un-evolved" states, however I do believe that they often come back in fashion. Similar to my son's "non-'80's"...hip...modern...2010 retro punk...mullet, market research methods look different in their modernized form. Here are a few suggestions for modernizing your market research product or market research service:

• Address the methodological concerns, expand your horizons and think "out-of-the-box". A couple of years ago, Discovery Research got involved with conducting IVR surveys (Interactive Voice Response). Online access panels were digging in to the research typically conducted over the phone. One of the reasons (aside from cost) was that respondents could self-select time and day to complete interviews. IVR research provides a cheap, self-select, quick method for conducting market research in an arena that Discovery Research understands better than most...telephone market research.
• Mold and evolve your market research products. Quicktest evolved the mall market research process so that it was more relevant and accessible to respondents. They've evolved their primary product into the "new mullet" of market research (would that be the nullet).
• Find your niche and be the best at it. The mullet doesn't look much like the mullet from the '80's. It looks retro...in a way...but looks very modern. You've heard it say that you don't want your company to be a "manufacturer of buggy whips." Maybe it's ok to be a buggy whip manufacturer, if you're the only person selling buggy whips, you're the best at it, and they address the needs of the current buggy whip market.
