noun. a lostpainting is a h-m-s-xual gentleman who thinks himself highly original and free thinking. however, to an observer, a lostpainting is exposed as a cleverly crafted poseur of little real substance.

originally in reference to the 1966 art-heist film how to steal a million, starring audrey hepburn and peter o’toole.

a lostpainting is epitomized by this quote from the film:

charles bonnet (o’toole): what have i done? i’ve given the world a precious opportunity of studying and viewing the cellini venus.
nicole bonnet (hepburn): which is not by cellini!
charles bonnet: ahh, labels, labels. it’s working with the americans that’s given you this obsession with labels and brand names. i wish you’d give up that ridiculous job.
h-m-s-xual 1: oh look! it’s that guy! he’s so clever and individual.
h-m-s-xual 2: i -ssure you, he’s merely a lostpainting.
h-m-s-xual 1: -frowns sternly at the aforementioned p-sser-by-
