Description

Imagine stepping inside Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring or Hopper's Nighthawks. That's the effect achieved by modern-day photographers, artists, students, and creatives within the pages of this one-of-a-kind book. Started as an online collaborative project by founder of art blog Booooooom Jeff Hamada, Remake gathers fantastic reinterpretations of 50 fine art masterpieces. Side-by-side presentations of canonical artworks and their contemporary re-dos highlight the striking similarities between the works as well as the entertaining creative choices that make each version unique. A crowdsourced send-up of the art history canon, this quirky collection of before-and-after pairings is filled with surprises of wit and whimsy.
