A photoshop montage of 108 great artists from DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Picasso, Monet, Rembrandt and Gaugin to Escher, Harring, Rockwell, Suess, Pollack & Dali and everyone in between all standing in one room together. I started with mostly scanned portraits and busts from art books and rebuilt the rest of their bodies taking care to maintain the painting style of each artist. I used my own and several models body parts to recreate the missing anatomy and carefully shaded and shadowed the overlaps to maintain realism. Architectural elements of Frank Lloyd Wright and Reny Mackintosh completed the room and finally the whole thing was printed on a 15 foot canvas stretched and framed and now appears in the house of a client who commissioned the work for a tidy sum (bless his heart). The piece took over 6 months to create and included an outlined legend to identify the names.
