Paintings vs photographs
The Remake project challenged art students to remake famous works of art, using photography. Aren't they compelling?
(I found this remake of "The Artist's Mother" by Whistler to be really touching.)

Wow, so cool! I LOVE all your cool internet finds!
Oh my goodness, they are brilliant. The first pair is my favourite. Stunning and so spot on:) Happy New Year, Joanna. xo
LOVE these!
This is really amazing.
This is such a neat project! That first one is beautiful both ways. Love it!
i love the first one for the attention to detail (and it is as breathtakingly beautiful as the original painting) but i actually prefer the more creative takes and modern twists compared to the ones that just have people who look the same
These are amazing...I LOVED the Starry Night one! :)
Brilliant!!

Love these!
And the top one is amazing! They did a really good re-creation.
wow, i love the suitcase one. what creativity.
I love the first and last photos.
With the exception of the Whistler one at the end (that photo is very touching), I'm more a fan of the originals and don't think they need to be reinterpreted.
this has got to be one the most creative thing ever!
that first one is a knockout.
This is a pretty neat project! I think my favorites are the first and last one because they really captured the essence of the original. I know there's a project somewhere of an artist that did paintings that look just like photographs. I'll try to find a link to share with you because that one was pretty amazing too!
This is so ingenious. I would love to have both the painting & the photograph hung in my house! What a cool challenge.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
this is such a cool idea. it reminds me of an ad campaign when i lived in florence. it was the same idea - photographic interpretations of the classic floretine/italian artworks but with designer clothes. loved it!
Wow, this is so incredible!

THAT'S SO COOL!!
I love seeing creative spins on such classic images, like the girl sitting at McDonald's. So clever.
Mondrian Suitcase FTW!
LOVE!

these are really something! Thanks for sharing!
I have got to say I did this for a school project even before finding this trend online. I use two Picasso paintings from his blue period. This has inspired me to post them later on, and maybe create some more. :)
I loved the Mondrian one by the way. Very clever!
this is so cool! I like how some were exact and some were modernized.

That is a very neat project! And IA can't imagine the all the details and preparation that had be done for the photos to work.
Whoa these are so awesome!
i love it. very cool approach!
Wow. This is really neat. I like both, can't pick a favorite.

These are just wonderful! What an exciting project.
This is really cool! I love when you do links to art stuff.
On an unrelated note- I was wondering if you have been having problems posting links to blogger on facebook. I have been suddenly having trouble (and by that I mean it won't do it) and so I looked up some other bloggers I read on fb to see if they post links. I noticed you have in the past... have you had problems lately?
What a wonderful project! Thank you for sharing it.
Love this.. being a design major it is always intreaguing to see thing such as this.
Follow my college life blog! It ranges from fashion, travels, to everyday life.

This is amazing... i love it. I remember one of my seniors in college actually used an idea similar to this for her photography thesis.
I had the same idea time ago but I never realized it...these pictures are great!!
Lens&anythingElse
beautiful.
Wonderful.. love the pearl earrings!
This is amazing and so creative! Wow.
This is such a beautiful project. I agree with you about "The Artist's Mother;" it is really touching. The composition is quite different, but the tone is so similar; it's sad and beautiful.
These are all so beautiful! The suitcase photograph was such a great way to mimic the painting.. something I never would have thought of. Thanks for sharing :)
-Janell
Wow these are amazing!!!
Waou!
This is great! I especially love the ones that have been reworked in a modern style.
fab project and they did so good!!!
I thought i'd prefer to the paintings, but with your examples thats not always the case; the first picture for example has so much detail!
this is great. I love the Van Gogh.
That is so interesting and such a great idea! The paintings are amazing and the photography really captured the spirit of the work. So, so cool.
Absolutely amazing. Love this.
I adore this post! Thank you.
These are awesome. I've always wanted to be The Girl with the Pearl Earring for Halloween! Nice Post!
Just beautiful viewing them side by side, and all lovely painting choices! Thanks for posting!
Very cool. Some looked nearly identical.
great project. I like the one with the girls standing on t.v.s!
They are amazing!
fantastic! thanks for sharing xxx

These are beautiful. I think the Mondrian is my favorite, due to the creativeness of the composition. Thanks for sharing!

years ago I saw a series where a photographer had found relatives of people who posed for john singer sargent paintings and he took photos of them that were reminiscent of the original pictures. they were quite wonderful.
this is so cool -such a good idea.
My best friends and I did this exact thing last spring! My dad gave us a list of paintings for us to recreate. I put them on my blog here: http://www.thenowhereyears.blogspot.com/2011/03/spring-break-day-five.html
such a cool idea!
like this and sahare it to

Hi
This can be 1 of the top blogs I've actually arrive throughout on this subject. I liked this blog post.
thank you
Great ideas - I really enjoyed the changes in scenes such as the suitcase, and woman older to younger. :) I am now following your blog! :)
I am not quite sure how I cam across your blog, but I was looking at some
of your ideas and then read over to your profile - I too am a mom of two sets of twins
( 5yr old boys and 19 mo. old girls). I am amazed at how you find the time - you have awesome creativity -
I am curious about your dresser turned entertainment center. God Bless!
