September 2020 - Toronto ON
I was at the AGO, Art Gallery of Ontario, last week. These banners were hanging outside.
People are spending their time indoors transforming themselves (and willing participants) into famous paintings, from Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam to Edvard Munch's iconic The Scream. Toilet paper neck ruffles, tangled laptop chargers and even four-legged friends are all being used as makeshift props.
All the originals hang in the AGO.

ReplyDeleteYour link at 'My Corner of the World' is greatly appreciated!! I'm glad to see you this week!
These were both clever and stunning. Some were better than others, and the Frans Hals lookalike is a hoot.
