I wish the artists had always avoided painting faces.... most pinball art has very poorly drawn faces... they just didnt quite get it right and this one is no exception.. more of an example
I wonder if the poorly drawn faces were meant to be that way so that they didn't look exactly like a certain person and then didn't have to pay a license fee to that person?? If they can draw everything else really well, I can't see that they would fail on the face.
I think that is a very good assumption. After all, this example was done in Italy, the home of renaissance art.
Can't imagine them being inaccurate.
LOL!!! Probably fair to say that the artist wasnt a famous renaissance artist.... theres a difference between drawing a face NOT to look like someone and not being able to draw a face... a lot of pinball art is very simplistic and almost childish in its execution.. there were exceptions like Roy Parker.. but he struggled with hands etc and would try to avoid them.
A lot of the 50's artwork had side profiles that if a person actually stood in that position it would be quite uncomfortable... makes the figures look awkward and unnatural..
,,,its what pinball art is.. mainly pop art and it is niave,
but later in pinball production there was an attempt to make the artwork better and more lifelike... in most cases it fell short of what it tried to achieve... the faces on this game are VERY poorly drawn
