Is There Really a Man Holding an iPhone in This 1937 Painting?
That cannot possibly be what my brain is telling me it is. Surely this is doctored:
It's not clear exactly who this man is, but he might as well be popping off a selfie or thumbing through his news feed. He seems to gaze into the handheld device in such a way that renders all-too-familiar today, as if he's just read a bad tweet or recoiling from a Trump-related push notification from the Times. He would almost look unremarkable, if only he and the world around him existed at any point in the past decade
This is one of the craziest things I have seen. The power of suggestion is strong with this one.
