Original Mac SE Ad Artwork from 1987

Saturday September 6, 2008 7:03 pm PDT by Arnold Kim

MyOldMac.net is seeking a buyer the original artwork for a Swedish Mac SE ad campaign commissioned in 1987. The artist describes the history:

I painted them in Gothenburg Sweden in 1987 for HLR-BBDO advertising agency Stockholm. Tore Claersson was the art director with the vision to OK the marketing concept (now at or last seen at Ogalvy&Mather NY USA). Head of Apple in Stockholm at the time that OK'd the campaign was Isaac Stern.

These are original oil and mixed media paintings and are being offered in a collection.

We don't necessarily expect to find a buyer for this collection, but thought readers might be interested in viewing the artwork.

if this is an original concept, why does it look like someone edited an image of someone playing piano?

The artwork is original but clearly inspired by historic paintings/artists.

For bonus points, can anyone name the artists and original artwork the paintings are based on?

Tip: Some of the original artists are already credited in the image captions.
