Andrea Ferrigno’s drawings and paintings have a digital look about them.  I don’t know what her process is, but the precision in some of these is quite magnificent.

In case you missed it, a couple of weeks ago 5 paintings with a market value of more than $100 million were stolen from the Paris Museum of Modern Art.

The paintings include:

• Pablo Picasso’s “Le pigeon aux petits-pois” (The Pigeon with the Peas)
• Henri Matisse’s “La Pastorale” (Pastoral)
• Amadeo Modigliani’s “La femme a l’eventail” (Woman with a Fan)
• Georges Braque’s “L’olivier pres de l’Estaque” (Olive Tree near Estaque)
• Fernand Leger’s “Nature morte aux chandeliers” (Still Life with Chandeliers)
