LAFFOLEY ARCHIVE: Complete 'In Homage' Listing. Laffoley's Sources of Inspiration
CURRENT LISTING:

Laffoley's "In Homage To:" Attributions are the KEY to Understanding
the Essential Background Concepts Behind Each Painting or Invention.

Completing this list may take some time considering the tiny print, and often obscure names listed at the bottom of each painting.
Submissions or Research Help is welcomed, and the always resourceful Brainsturbator.com has already sent a primary list compiled from the sources available. I'm working on quite a few sections simultaneously right now, but eventually this list will be linked to Wikipedia entries for these individuals and each name will have links to the various Laffoley paintings they are dedicated to.
Until then ... just Google or Wiki the names for extended biographical & historical info.
