Breitenbach depicting over 300 common proverbs, catchphrases, and cliche's such as "You are what you eat", "a frog in the throat", and "kicked the bucket". The original is painted on a 45 by 67 inch wooden panel and was completed in 1975 after two years work, when the artist was 24. The included sayings are painted quite literally and appear comical and bizarre, especially if one does not at first realize what the painting is about. For example, "You are what you eat" is represented in the painting by a carrot eating a carrot. The painting also contains hidden social commentary, and a reference to Pieter Bruegel the Elder (a favorite of the artist) who did a painting of Dutch proverbs in the sixteenth century. The title Proverbidioms is a simple portmanteau word combining "proverb" with "idioms".- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proverbidioms
