In “The Great Art History”, the artist appropriates a book of photographs published by the iconic Life magazine and makes interventions in the photographic reproductions. He takes possession of them and transforms them using drawings and simple words or short texts. All of this as a reinterpretation of the images, relating them to the history of art.
From the book “The Great Art History”, 15 reproductions will be printed on Hahnemühle paper of any of the 600 pages that make it up.
