Recreated Artworks
Thanks to Wendy who shared this amusing website to enjoy while you stay locked up during the pandemic.
The Getty museum issued a playful challenge on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to re-create people’s favorite art using just three objects lying around home. Thousands and thousands of re-creations later, the Getty is in awe of your creative powers and sense of humor.
The challenge was inspired by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and a brilliant Instagram account called Between Art and Quarantine, but adapted with the invitation to use digitized and downloadable artworks from Getty’s online collection.
