The models for Michael Sowa's paintings?

Written By Marcus Schütz

Immediately when I recently spotted frozen fish at a Harbin outdoor market (everything is frozen outdoor in Harbin at this time of the year), I thought that I have seen something very similar before. Now I know: they were perhaps the models for Michael Sowa's painting below. I came across it on a blog which i like very much, called www.artistsandart.org and the posting on Michael Sowa you fine by clicking here. Still trying to find out what fish these actually are.

I am running this website as a commonplace and selection of assorted interests since August 2008. It follows a predecessor which went back to the early days of the World Wide Web. Naturally, the focus shifted over time.
