The True Founders of Pac-Man
This year the net has been abuzz about Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary. However, a painting in the Museum of Modern Art in Brussels, Belgium, proves that the concept of Pac-Man pre-dated Namco’s iconic video game by some 30-40 years.
Stupidly, I forgot to jot down the name of the painting or any information about it. I’ve zoomed in as far as computerly possible and managed to discern signatures of many artists:
Anne Bonnet
Gaston Bertrand
Jo Delahaut
René Barbaix
Charles Pry
Jean Milo
Serge Creuz
Émile Mahy
Odette Collon
They were all part of the Brussels-based Jeune Peinture Belge group in the 1940s - 50s…
…AND THEY ARE THE TRUE FOUNDERS OF PACMAN.
Help me, internet, what is this painting?
