Description
Mona Lisa and Santana with Dove, Lion and Panther - Mixed media record album covers pop art collage print by Steven Shaver.
The discovery of a vintage record album featuring the famous Mona Lisa painting on the cover led to an idea to create pop art collages from record album covers, gameboards and other collectables that could include her. Starting with Nat King Cole, love songs have been sung about Mona Lisa, but what if there were album covers with images of other famous singers that could be shown next to her singing and looking at her? What if monuments like the Statue of Liberty on album covers, iconic athletes like Babe Ruth on baseball cards, or game trinkets like the cat on Monopoly gameboards were placed at her side trying to get her attention? What would Mona Lisa be thinking?
Collage features repurposed Santana record album covers: In Search of Mona Lisa and Supernatural covers with added lyrics, dove, lion and panther.
Original 'Mona Lisa' song facts:
The song was written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston for the 1950's movie Captain Carey, U.S.A. It won an Oscar for Best Song. In this song, Nat King Cole compares his love to the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa if famous for her smile and her mystique, as the portrait has become one of the most famous works of art in history.
Original 'Mona Lisa' song lyrics:
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
'In Search of Mona Lisa' song lyrics by Santana:
I went to Paris museum
Stood in line, uh, to see your face
All the women of the world
Ain't got nothin' on her
When I stood in front of her
Lookin' eye to eye
She said to me
Do you remember
When we were lovers
Oh, in another time
Here we are again
I can feel your heart
Keepin' time with mine
Oh, as eternal lovers
Oh, I'ma searchin'
Oh, I'ma searchin'
My Mona Lisa
My Mona Lisa
Said I'ma searchin'
Said I'ma searchin'
My Mona Lisa
My Mona Lisa
I've got to find you
I'm a step behind you
My Mona Lisa
My Mona Lisa
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
That my dreams
Have not come true
Mona, hey!
Mona, hey!
