Not without cheating.

 

[perdurabo]

The clothes scream Einstien but The chess board screams Braxton....come on tell us already :clap:

Caitlyn Jenner in drag?

 

[tuold]

Yeah I had to cheat, but I'm still not sure. Is it René Magritte?

Paul Nougé

Hands are too large for Einstein, photo too old for Braxton. I'm stumped. Those hands should be a giveaway but can't place them.

Marcel Duchamp

Boris Spassky?

I am going to change my answer to Magritte. The pose fits too well, though the chessboard and hands tend toward Duchamp. I guess that's not a chessboard.

The photo was done by René Magritte but the pipe smoker is Paul Nougé

I was confused and thought it was the other way around.


Poor 'ol Nougé ain't really famous,

and the nipple snail photo is anti-erotic.
Glad to see Braxton's name suggested though,

I'm a big freejazz fan.

I especially like his solo stuff.

I was ecstatic to see Braxton mentioned also. I'm a math major as well as a free jazz lover, thus a natural for fandom of Anthony. I'm also pleased my year and a half immersion in art here is paying off.

Magritte was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pose but I had to cheat to get confirmation
