This Husband Hired 23 Artists To Make The Perfect Birthday Present For His Wife

127

ADVERTISEMENT

In this story, Ernst Berlin didn’t create a work of art, but he commissioned 23 artists to create a beautiful collection of art for his wife Agnes in what is probably the sweetest and most awesome birthday present we’ve ever seen.

The 23 artists, whom he found through Reddit Gets Drawn, were provided with 40 photos of Agnes, Ernst and their 8-month-old child and asked to interpret them through their own artistic style. The result was a series as diverse in its artistic interpretation is it was unified in its warm and loving approach towards the photos.

If you think the artistic gift is awesome, wait until you see Agnes’ reaction! Ernst created a video of the unveiling from a hidden camera, and you can watch this video at the bottom of our post.

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    The photos are better than the copied artworks

    I agree. The facial expressions got lost in most of the art. It's a sweet gesture nonetheless.

    Great idea, but in this case the photos are so much better than the paintings.
