Bernie, I’m 40 this year too I’d be very surprised if these prints were valuable. I wouldn’t buy it..

Oh, how I remember this! My mother’s friend had this in her living room (I’d assume having it in the lounge was quite racy for the time) in the 1970s.

As it was simpler times (1 tv, 3 channels, and less distractions/toys for kids back then) I found myself staring at it for hours. But I remember feeling it was “rude” as it had naked people in it.

I still have no idea what the heck the painting is about..but then, art is how you interpret it..As an adult, I think it’s the wrong side of kitsch, ie, vile.

Didn’t know it was talked about in Abigail’s Party, though I’ve never actually watched it..I’ll have to now!!

I have “The Kneeling Woman” (Allen Jones) in *my* lounge, so no doubt my young niece feels just as puzzled by that (I tape up the Kneeling Woman’s nipple when she comes to visit, for the sake of decency).

well this painting is just beautifull.. believe it or not my dad has one, my mother has one and im thinking on getting one… ill find out the name of the artist when i get home from work..

There are also alternative colour version.. but this is without a debt the best.. there not hugely expensive from what i remember (looked around on the net a year or so ago)..

There alot harder to get hold of now cos they were so damn popular..

Hello!!
We too were looking for this odd but endearing painting. And found….that it is called “Wings of Love” by a guy called S. Pearson. Enjoy!

Believe it or not but my mom and her sister had that exact painting on their bedroom walls. I was very puzzled by it and would stare for hours.
