In “The Great Art History,” the artist appropriates the photography book “The Great Life Photographers” from Life magazine, altering its title and intervening in its photographic reproductions. He transforms the images through drawing, simple words, or short texts, creating a reinterpretation that brings the original material closer to the history of art.
Based on the book "The Great Art History," 15 reproductions will be made on Hahnemühle paper, each of one of the more than 600 pages that comprise it.
