Looking for a new name for my boy Still Looking. He's looking like a literally painted horse so whoever can come up with the most creative modern-art inspired name will win 100k!

Rules: Pick your favorite painter and then give him a title as if he were one of that artist's creations.

Ex. Rockwell's Golden Rule

Still Looking ExPer

Bonus: Anyone who contributes to post an example of a great background "canvas" for him will receive 10k. :)

Receiving entries until Jan 1, 2020 12am EST.

i picked a man named Leonid Afremov (he was a Russian–Israeli modern impressionistic artist)

he made a painting that i love, and i feel like it really suits him. its called "Night of secrets"

He's not a painter, but is still an artist of some form. I think Mozart would suit him. I know you asked for painter, so feel free to ignore my comment, but... just the name Mozart seems fitting. And I feel the new watercolor tackpack would really suit him.

Henri Émile Benoît Matisse is the painter and Matisse The Fauves is my name idea. He makes me think of his art.

Leonid Afremov "Night Colors" Love the colors reflected on the path the couple is walking on. Like you hope your studs offspring reflects his colors.

How about Delightful Dali, for Salvador Dali. Here's an all-age appropriate work by him, actually one of my favorites.

Reminds me of Jackson Pollock's paintings. How about Canvas of Pollock? Or Convergence like the painting?

Munnings Drunken Attack
There is some irony behind this name :D

The Weeping Man.. which would be a twist on the "Weeping Woman" by Pablo Picasso. The colors really do make me think of that picture for some reason haha.

Leonardo’s painted sunset

StormwoodFarm · Dec 24, 2019 6:53 PM

Like WolfDen, I also think he looks like a Jackson Pollack painting!

This one in particular is what your horse reminds me of...
https://www.jackson-pollock.org/reflection-of-the-big-dipper.jsp It'd be a really long name, so maybe Pollack's Reflections?

Alternatively, Pollack didn't normally name his paintings... he often just numbered them. So Pollack's Number (# of choice) could be a cool name, too!

WolfDen · Dec 25, 2019 5:42 PM

I like Stormwood's painting choice. You could just call him Big Dipper

Looper · Dec 31, 2019 5:58 AM

One more day to enter! :)

Ellesmere022 · Dec 31, 2019 1:38 PM

I know nothing about artists/paintings. I would probably call him something like perfect anarchy or something along those lines. Also I’d say perhaps one of the watercolour backgrounds would suit him, maybe see which colour is as close to one of his stripes as you can find?
Not really entering, mostly here to say he is a stunner

Looper · Jan 5, 2020 5:11 AM

Thanks for playing y'all! :) It was a very hard decision-y'all gave a lot of great ideas! So I'm combining two of your ideas. :)

@WolfDen and @StormwoodFarm you win with Convergence Of Reflections. It would have been Pollocks but it wasn't quite going to fit. :) Please post a horse here for 100k to collect your winnings! :D

Great name choice! I like it a lot. :) Thanks for a fun contest! It was fun to use some art history knowledge:
