Mistigram: Hmmm... here's some food for thought! This contemplative #ASCIIart adaptation of #TheThinker, the crowning element in #AugusteRodin's #GatesOfHell, was made by @littlebitspace and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: so, you like the classics? No, I don't mean the Western canon of #fineart, I mean the OG artpack formats of #ANSIart and #ASCIIart? You will find many satisfying specimens of them in the new MIST0424 artpack collection! Here are some samples:

Mistigram: this #textart adaptation of #FineWindClearMorning (also simply called #RedFuji), one of #Hokusai's suite of #ThirtysixViewsOfMountFuji #ukiyoe prints made in the 1830s, was made by @kalchano in #ShiftJIS and included in the new fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: Throw open the gallery gates! We've plundered the treasures of Western art history for the new MIST0424 artpack collection, making #textmode and vintage computer graphics adaptations of many famous and celebrated artworks and tributes to many geniuses of the art world. Here's a sampling of the styles and subjects you will find within, including modern art, old masters and relics from antiquity, rendered in mediums as varied as #teletext, #ANSIart, #ASCIIart and #BBCMicro high resolution graphics.

Mistigram: @blippypixel brings his #teletext editor back to the #AndyWarhol well for one final take on serially repetitive permutations on iconic topics -- here none other than the Covid-19 coronavirus, whose 15 minutes of fame have certainly overstayed their welcome. As the compromised host cells of an infected and contagious person turn into virus factories, a metaphor resonates with Warhol's name for his screenprinting print shop studio -- also called "The Factory"… as is this screen, which was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this uncoloured #ANSIart (#blockASCII technically) portrait of pop artist #AndyWarhol is the handiwork of @axbmusic. It was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: @blippypixel returns to the topic of pop artist #AndyWarhol in this #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen, named (echoing the Bowie song) "Where Are We Now?" This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.

Mistigram: in this #teletext illustration by @blippypixel, pop art icon #AndyWarhol indulges his interest in watching a little car drive across the TV screen.  This piece was included in the recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack collection.
